In 2007, we produced a wonderful tall Ships Festival in Shelburne, in association with the Shelburne & Area Chamber of Commerce.  Our plans for 2009 include participating in the 2009 Tall Ships Festival by sponsoring some youth sailors and preliminary discussions are underway regarding a maritime heritage network in Nova Scotia. 

In 2008 the Society purchased one of the last local working Shelburne Dories and it was used as a central "character" in the Communities in Bloom Project.

The Society is pursuing several options for increasing the presence of maritime heritage on and along the waterfront in Shelburne.
