The Azorean Maritime Heritage Society in New Bedford, MA is hosting about 70 people from the Azores in early September 2010 for the International Azorean Whaleboat Regatta with teams from USA, racing against teams from Pico and Faial. The 70 or so visitors from the Azores are being housed at the homes of the members of the Society in New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, and Mattapoisett. Photo courtesy of Barbara Treban.
