During this week’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting, Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller presented a new special event request from Bryan Lilley of National Air, Sea & Space Foundation (NASSF) and Director of Development Steve Webster to dock the Spanish Navy’s tall ship Nao Victoria Galeon in Ocean City for a period of 30 days to add to the resort’s tourist experience. Miller worked with Lilley on recent OC Air Show events in Ocean City. According to NASSF, the Galeon is a replica of the 16th century ships that Spanish explorers sailed on to discover Florida and much of the new world. The ship will provide an interactive tour, along with exhibits telling its history. The NASSF recently hosted the Spanish Navy's Juan Sebastian de Elcano tall ship and the Nao Victoria Galeon in Port Canaveral for the Viva Florida 500 Tall Ship Event back in May. “They had a lot of success there,” Miller said. “They were there for about 10 days.” The organizers are proposing to bring the Nao Victoria Galeon to Ocean City from Aug. 20 and have it open to the public Aug. 23-Sept. 22. Two locations have been proposed to dock the ship – the bayside boardwalk between 3rd and 4th streets and Sunset Park using the U.S. Coast Guard Pier. The event organizer’s preference is the bayside boardwalk. “Honestly, the longevity of the event they are proposing is a little extreme as opposed to the original 10 days,” Miller said. In discussions with City Engineer Terry McGean over the town costs associated with modifying the proposed locations, the bayside boardwalk would cost about $3,000 while the other would cost about $4,000. “It does overlap Sunfest and they have done that purposely,” Miller explained. “They would like to see us co-market the ship being here with Sunfest.” Besides having exhibit space outside of the ship, it was suggested the town offer vendor space during Sunfest. “When those items were brought up, I basically said no to it,” Miller said. “There is no reason for us to pull our crowd away from our venue and have them cannibalized on our effort and our efforts. That wasn’t really a good match.” Although Miller believes the eSEE NEXT PAGE BILLY’S SUBS DELIVERS • BILLY’S SUBS DELIVERS • BILLY’S SUBS DELIVERS OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 10 A.M.-1 P.M. WOW!
