Abstract:
On March 8, 2005, the city of Bath will begin a year-long celebration marking its 300th anniversary. This is the first time in the state's history that an incorporated town is celebrating its tricentennial. Activities during the year include a visit by the former Archbishop of Canterbury, who will hold services at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in April; a performance of the outdoor drama Blackbeard, Knight of the Black Flag in June; and Maritime Heritage Days in September.
