Maritime Speaker Meeting – Luna
January 19, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
The construction of an 18th century Bermuda sloop named “Luna” will be the topic as presented by Mr. John Collamore. He will describe the current construction of the “Luna” as well as the history of this “coastal workhorse” that at one time hauled goods from one port to the next and spread the day’s news. Mr. Collamore and crew intend to sail her to historic ports from North Carolina to Maryland “to be able to tell the maritime history of the colonies and the seeds of the revolution that led to our freedom.”
John Collamore , is one of seven founders and now president of the Colonial Seaport Foundation in Deltaville, VA, where he grew up sailing and started building boats.
The public is invited to enjoy this presentation free of charge on Thursday, Jan. 19th. at 7 PM, at the MMF Museum, 482 Main St. Mathews Court House, VA.
