« Photo: A proud new citizen | Today | Gavitt shoots into Basketball Hall of Fame » April 3, 2006Bay Queen will return, but with new managerA 33-year tradition will continue on Narragansett Bay later this month when the Bay Queen resumes its dinner cruises out of Warren. Capt. Luther H. Blount, the 89-year-old owner of the vessel, was unsure whether he could continue the operation, but he said today he found "a good fit" to manage it in Michael Ferreira, owner of Gillary's Night Club and Tavern in Bristol. Blount, well-known as a shipbuilder, won't be acting as captain of the ship, but will still own the business. He'll also still be able to see off many of his guests. He lives in a house near the departure gate, "so I have literally enjoyed seeing quite possibly a million guests over the years." The Bay Queen Cruises office opens April 10, seven days a week from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. It is already booking charters. Call 401-245-1350. The first trip is April 21. Blount's shipyard also makes similar vessels for cruises in ports around the country. Last year, the Harbor Queen began operation out of Newport.
