2013 will see the Little Ships return to Ipswich for their Annual Commemorative Cruise. A service will be held dockside at Ipswich Haven Marina on Sunday 26th May commencing at 1100. All are welcome.
Little Ships will start making their way to Ipswich during the week on May 20th. The plan is to have most vessels assemble at Brightlingsea by Friday 24th May and travel in convoy to Ipswich on the morning of Saturday 25th. The Harwich Lifeboat will meet the fleet off Pye End buoy at 0930 and provide an escort through the Harwich approach and into the River Orwell. We anticipate arrival at Ipswich between 1200 and 1300.
