Members of the Fairhaven Village Militia fire off the cannons at Fort Phoenix to welcome the CW Morgan back to New Bedford on Wednesday, 6/25. Last of the great wooden whaling ships, the Morgan has been restored to its former glory and is fully seaworthy which was proven the last few weeks as it has embarked on its 38th journey. It will be open to the public on State Pier in New Bedford from 6/28 through 7/6 from 9 a.m. to 4:30. See page three for more details. Photo by Beth David.

Graffiti vandals hit the empty Rogers School building this week, leaving their mark high up on the brick building in two places and all around the portable classrooms. Fairhaven police spokesperson Kevin Kobza said that the work seems to be that of experienced “taggers.” The paintings seem to have actual tags that are often identifiable. If anyone recognizes the tags or has any information regarding the graffiti, call the Fairhaven Police Department at 508-997-7421. The Bristol County Sheriff Deparrment’s graffiti removal unit has been called in. Photos by Beth David.
