Did you hear about Disney/FX's SHOGUN winning a record-breaking 18 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Production Design? Vergennes boatbuilder, writer, and researcher Douglas Brooks worked on the series as the Boat Consultant and will be at New Haven Community Library to present! He will share about this and other experiences in his 30 years studying, building, and teaching on the subject. He has apprenticed with 9 boatbuilders from throughout Japan, building over a dozen types of traditional boats, and has taken 26 trips to the country, including visiting all 47 prefectures. Brooks has taught widely, at Middlebury College, Bates College, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University, and in Maine, Australia, and France. We can't wait to hear all about it and see the amazing pictures!

This will be in the Town Office side of the building and is open to everyone.
