A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIX BOATS
Location: Ferrisburgh Historical Society Building (corner of Rt. 7 and Little Chicago Road)
Please join Mike Smiles of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum for an exploration of the interconnected stories of six boat types that shaped our local and global economies, and weave together a better understanding of man's quest to exploit our world's oceans and waterways with craft to leverage our human potential.
Why do we preserve watercraft at maritime museums around the world? What do these historic and replica boats and ships tell us about ourselves and our essential human quest for exploration? What do these boats and ships have in common with the vernacular vessels of Lake Champlain?
Please bring a list of your own "six ships/boats" to share in a survey of our community and our collective observations of what we perceive as "The History of the World in Six Boats."
All are welcome. Refreshments. More info call 425-3380.
