MWREN CONSULTING

Meghan E. Wren grew up on and in the water and with all sorts of boats, eventually finding herself a sailor on the Schooner PIONEER; the 1877 Barque ELISSA; and on the Brigantine ROMANCE. These ships and their people inspired her to follow her own vision of an indigenous traditional vessel as a champion of ‘her place', the Delaware Bay. At 23, she founded what has become the Bayshore Center at Bivalve and served for 29 years as its Executive Director. She spearheaded and oversaw the restoration, program development and operation of the 1928 oyster schooner AJ MEERWALD; lobbied and achieved the native NJ workboat's status as New Jersey's Official Tall Ship; restored the 1904oyster Shipping Sheds & Wharves in Bivalve as the homeport to the MEERWALD and historic destination; launched the Delaware Bay Museum and created a community and volunteer supported institution for the stewardship of NJ's Delaware Bayshore.
