Egan is excited to join The Blockade Runners Mayflower II Shallop Tour in August 2026, part of Revolution 250, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War.
The Shallop Tour will remind us of the daring exploits of the legendary captain and patriot Paul Cuffe, who evaded the British blockade by using a Shallop to transport supplies.
The Mayflower II’s Fuller Shallop, manned with a crew outfitted in colonial garb, will visit five (5) ports over an 11-day period. Ports-of-Call include Westport Point, Padanaram, Clark’s Cove, Cuttyhunk, and Nantucket.
