at Chapman School
(Found
on the Sail, Power & Steam Museum Facebook page today)
Captain Jim Sharp was the featured
speaker at the Chapman School of Seamanship, Library presentation, this past
Friday evening, (January 18). He talked extensively of the newest accomplishments
of his Sail Power & Steam Museum in Rockland Maine and explained in detail
the building of a wooden Friendship Sloop, a museum volunteer project. The
vessel will be used to demonstrate 19th century Maine lobster fishing methods
to the public—under sail—and hauling by hand, the old fashioned way. The Museum
is quite active with new building and display projects, both accomplished, and
on the drawing board.
He concluded his talk with a
synopsis of his new book “Unlocking Europe”—‘10 years cruising European canals
in a 90-year old barge’—This exciting story will be the subject of the March 1st
presentation at the Chapman School of Seamanship Tiki Talk.
