🚒 GET AWAY FROM THE HEAT! 🚒

It's time to embark on the elegant Sea Cloud II in Venice for an unforgettable Adriatic Sea journey along the Italian and Croatian coastlines. With warm autumn breezes filling the billowing sails of the privately chartered Sea Cloud II, cruise the shimmering Adriatic to timeless towns and archaeological sites in Italy and Croatia.

Savor a rare and exclusive inside look at the landmark achievements in art from the many culturesβ€”ancient Greeks and Romans to Byzantines and Venetiansβ€”who have made the Adriatic region their home. Starting in the lustrous canals of Venice, journey to Ravenna, the former capital of the Western Roman Empire, to admire the fifth- and sixth-century mosaics of its early Christian churches.

🌊 Did you know? 🌊

The House of Refuge Museum offered shelter to the survivors of the Georges Valentine shipwreck in 1904. Captain William E. Rea, the Keeper of the House of Refuge, aided the seven survivors. During the same storm on October 17, the Spanish ship Cosme Calzado wrecked three miles north of the Georges Valentine, but fifteen of the sixteen men survived. These crew members joined the survivors of the Georges Valentine at the House of Refuge. While most returned home via Jacksonville, Florida, one man, Edward Sarkenglov, stayed and became a local fisherman. Captain Rea and his wife lived in the House of Refuge until May 1907.

Come on in and EXPLORE The House of Refuge Museum! IT HAS SO MUCH HISTORY! Plus, we offer the convenience of our shuttle service from the Elliott Museum-Stuart
