Limited Seating:
Reservation Preference will be given to SITU Members first.
The U.S. Coast Guard has limited the number of persons allowed top deck on Lotus, so EARLY Registration is highly suggested before we must cut off reservations!!!
Be aware this is NOT an ADA compliant vessel. Interior staircase is both narrow and steep. No elevator available. Walkers, wheelchairs, or other such devices, cannot easily be used aboard. You might wish to not participate in this particular celebratory function.
What to Wear:
Everyone attending is encouraged to wear Edwardian day attire. Summer Whites are also appropriate .
Ladies: Lady Victoria suggests that you might wish to wear flat or very low-heeled shoes. This IS a floating yacht after all. Also, tight skirts of 1912 or later, may prove to be a challenge when climbing the staircase. Be advised…
Remember to bring a parasol in case you choose a location where there is too much sun, as well as a wrap or coverlet in the event it is windy from breezes coming off the lake.
Gents: White shirt, dark pants (not jeans), perhaps a vest and a straw hat are totally appropriate. Vest and straw hat are not required if you have not yet expanded your wardrobe to include some of these items; do your best to be “evocative of the era.”
What to Bring:
Parking and transport:
“Friends of Lady Victoria” should seek parking nearby at the lot in front of MOHAI, along Valley Street. You might choose to haul your items to the wharf with the help of a small wagon or other device.
Items to consider bringing:
– Picnic hamper with your own supplies, including food, drink, cup and appropriate silverware
– LOTUS has china plateware which can be used
– Hand fan to cool oneself
– Pen or pencil to participate in the trivia game
– Parasol if the table location you choose, is located in direct sunlight
