BATH — Maine’s First Ship is celebrating the end of its season with a Full Moon Dinner at 5 p.m. Aug. 26 at the Bath Freight Shed. This year’s dinner features Chef Jenn Legnini of Turtle Rock Farm in Brunswick, and music by Ben Betts from Boothbay Harbor.

The event is a fund-raiser for Maine’s First Ship, which is recreating the wooden ship Virginia, originally built in 1607 at the mouth of the Kennebec River in what is now Phippsburg.

“We’re excited to bring back Full Moon Dinners,” says First Ship board member and dinner organizer Lori Benson. “They were very popular and there was great demand to revive this tradition,” she said. ”It’s a great occasion that brings together community members to enjoy finely crafted local food from local farms.”

The event is limited to 60 guests. Tickets are $50, and available from the Maine’s First Ship fffice, by calling (207) 443-4242 or visiting [email protected].
