:: Ship Needs ::
Ship 444 can always use any donations in the form of funding or
supplies. All donations to the ship are tax deductible. If you are
interested in donating anything, please contact Skipper Mitch Johnson.
His contact information can be found on the Contact Us page.
Any donation of materials to the ship need not be new, but in working

of anything related to water sports and would like to help, let us know!

Boats!
Our ship is always on the look out for boats (small sailboats, large
sailboats, and motorboats). If we can’t use it we probably know
scouts who can. So if you have a boat you are interested in donating
please contact us. A big thanks to ************, who
donated two 16' Hobie-Cats for racing to our ship.
Other Needs
We can also use:
- A ship's bell
- Ship's Compass
- Line (rope) of all sizes
- Sextant
- Nautical maps for training
- Flags- American, Mississippi, Sea Scout, set of nautical flags
- Consultants who know about sailing, motor boating, repairs,
engine repairs, navigation, tec.
Currently we are in the
midst of planning and
executing fundraisers for
our upcoming events.
We are trying to get
SCUBA certified which will
cost us at least $150 per
person.
We are also trying to
raise money to fund our
potential Sea Base trip
next summer. This will be
a major expense.
On top of all these
activities, we are always
looking to raise money or
find supplies to bring our
sailboat into working
condition.
The cabin of the boat has
been entirely gutted and
needs to be redone.
There is also some
fiberglass work that will
have to be done before
she's sail-worthy. This is
a major project.
