Michelle Bancewicz of “Wicked Tuna” in Kittery KITTERY This Saturday, April 29, reality star Michelle Bancewicz from NatGeo’s TV series “Wicked Tuna” will be making an appearance at Kittery Trading Post (KTP), 301 Route 1, Kittery. Bancewicz will be at KTP from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a meet-and-greet in conjunction with KTP’s weekendlong “Fish! Paddle! Hunt!” event. Bancewicz is the first female captain featured on the popular re-
ality show. In the fall of 2021, Field & Stream reported on a viral video showing Bancewicz catching a 9-foot tuna aboard her boat, aptly named the “No Limits.” Bancewicz is an accomplished angler, and is also one of the only female commercial fishing captains plying the waters of New England’s famed bluefin tuna grounds. It came as no surprise Michelle ended up featured in the show’s next season.
Michelle’s “No Limits” and “Wicked Tuna” merchandise will be available for purchase during the meet-and-greet. “Fish! Paddle! Hunt!” is well-attended by people all across New England. KTP will open early, at 8 a.m. on Saturday. For more information, visit www.kitterytradingpost.com. Photo and additional information provided courtesy of Field and Stream, www. fieldandstream.com.

Admiral Joins Collins at PNS and King at BIW SEACOAST U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) joined Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Admiral Michael Gilday at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) on Tuesday, April 25, to tour the ongoing construction projects, receive an update on the facilities and shipyard operations, and meet with the shipyard’s military and civilian leadership. “Maine’s Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is the gold standard for all shipyards in this country due to its efficient, high-quality work for more than 200 years,” said Senator Collins. “What a pleasure it was to have CNO Gilday and Senator Hassan tour our wonderful shipyard today. We saw the extraordinary work that is done here each and every day, as well as the important modernization projects and apprentice-

We also met with many of the dedicated men and women who are working to keep our nation’s submarines at sea for years to come.” “I was glad to have the opportunity to join CNO Gilday and Senator Collins to tour Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, where we heard more about their efforts to modernize the shipyard and maintain the readiness of our
nuclear submarines,” Senator Hassan said. “The shipyard has played a major role throughout our history in keeping Americans safe at home and abroad, and I will continue working across the aisle to ensure that it has the support it needs to complete its critical missions.” Collins and Senator Angus King (I-ME) hosted Admiral Gilday at Bath Iron Works (BIW) on Monday, April 24, to tour the
shipyard’s manufacturing areas and training facilities and meet with workers. The visit included tours of several manufacturing areas, the main shipyard, and the kitting terminal. Additionally, Admiral Gilday Senator Collins and Senator King boarded and toured the USS Carl M. Levin (DDG 120). “It was a pleasure to welcome back Admiral Gilday to Bath Iron Works, where he had the opportunity to see firsthand the tremendous skill and dedication of employees who are building the Navy’s most capable ships. It is reassuring to know that the brave men and women of the Navy will crew a ship built by the world’s best shipbuilders,” said both Senators in a joint statement. “The value of our naval assets and shipyards to our national See ADMIRAL on page 2 . . .
