"Ship's Company has decided to stop doing shanty sings in Alexandria, VA. After more than 2 years, it never really took off nor found a permanent home. We also noticed that the Alexandria sing didn't seem to draw people who weren't already going to the sing in Wheaton.

We really appreciate everyone's support of the Alexandria shanty sings!"
