Description
Come hear the exciting tale of a modern day Arctic Schooner exploration with Captain Alex Peacock and crew members Graham McKay and Tom Klodenski. This dynamic panel of mariners will share videos, photos and stories of the August 2024 Arctic voyage of the Schooner Bowdoin; its first in 16 years. The Bowdoin crew included six professional mariners and nine Maine Maritime Academy student crew members who embarked on a challenging journey to the remote shores of Greenland last summer.
This historic voyage included traditional sail training, scientific research, environmental monitoring, and cultural exchange with the indigenous Greenlandic Inuit community and Maine Maritime Academy.
Light refreshments provided by White Heron Tea and Beach Pea Baking Co. at 1:30 when doors open
