If you would like to take part in a piece of Saint John history, this is your chance. The Marco Polo project is looking for volunteers to help with caulking and painting the tall ship on the west side. If you're interested, Barry Ogden tells CHSJ News to get in touch with him at 658-5911.
Ogden is hoping the project will be completed as early as later this year. He predicts it will become a magnet for tourists and could turn out to be the most photographed tourist attraction in the province. A final location for the ship hasn't been determined but Ogden tells us they would like it to be somewhere between Long Wharf and the Marco Polo Cruise Ship Terminal.
