Research and Development Vessel “Spirit of Pawtucket” to Begin Its Work
Pawtucket, RI – The Blackstone Valley Tourism Council will launch The Spirit of Pawtucket on Monday October 17 at 11 am from Festival Pier in Pawtucket .
The Spirit of Pawtucket, a 6-passenger research and development vessel, is being launched with the purpose of promoting the environmental and economic life on the Pawtucket River and upper Narragansett Bay.
“The Spirit will be used to educate government leaders, business leaders and scientists about the opportunities to bring back the Pawtucket River to environmental and economic health,” according to Robert Billington, President of the Tourism Council. Tourism Council staff re-built the vessel, donated by a Blackstone Valley family, over the last year.
