The Blessing of the Fleet ceremony is an age-old tradition typically held in the Spring when watermen are preparing for the opening of a new season. Local watermen bring their boats to the harbor, and local clergy will gather together with the watermen’s community to pray for a blessing of safety and prosperity for the upcoming crab, clam and fishing seasons. They will also pray a blessing of safety for all those who pass through the waters of the Bay Hundred region during the recreational boating season. The blowing of the Shofar has become a tradition at the ceremony and the Bay Hundred Men will join us in song.
