A historic schooner that ran aground near Orcas Island, Wash., sustained only a "ding" on its keel and will be able to head to this weekend's tall ships festival in Victoria, British Columbia.
The 133-foot Adventuress was refloated Monday after being stuck for several hours in northwest Washington's San Juan Islands and having stranded passengers and crew members evacuated by two state ferries.
Catherine Collins is executive director of Sound Experience, the nonprofit educational operation that owns and manages the Adventuress. She says the ship motored back to its home base of Port Townsend and was hauled out of the water Tuesday for a Coast Guard inspection.
Now she says the Adventuress is back in the water in time to head to Victoria.
None of the 27 people on board the 95-year-old sailboat were injured in the grounding or evacuation.
