Commemorating the Sail Portsmouth Blessing of the Fleet Portsmouth NH 400th (PNH400) is delighted to announce an exciting new addition to the PNH400 merchandise now on sale. On July 27 as the Flotilla 400 of local boats welcome the tall ships arriving for Sail Portsmouth 2023, there will be a Blessing of the Fleet from Four Tree Island. Representatives from multiple faiths and the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenaki People will extend their blessings to the passing fleet. To commemorate the revival of this treasured Portsmouth tradition, Blessing of the Fleet sponsor Brewster’s Bait & Tackle has commissioned the incomparable local artist Dan Blakeslee to create a special artwork, now made available to the public as a four-color silkscreen print on sturdy 100-lb art paper. “PNH400 is thrilled to be able to offer this VERY limited edition silkscreen print, crafted, numbered and signed by Dan Blakeslee’s own hand,” said PNH400 Managing Director Valerie Rochon. “These rare collectible keepsakes celebrate the energy and diversity of our waterfront celebration and are perfect for framing, as a gift, or both!”
