Join the Sail, Power, and Steam Museum online Tuesday March 18th at 6:30pm for Captains’ Quarters. The museum welcomes author Nat Warren-White who will discuss his book In Slocum’s Wake. The autobiographical tale of a hard-won circumnavigation aboard a 43-foot cutter will thrill sailors and non-sailors alike.
Nat Warren-White's five-year journey follows many of the same passages and roughly traces much of the route followed by Joshua Slocum who, in the late 1800s, became the first person to sail alone around the world. In Slocum’s Wake compares the challenges Warren-White faced aboard his South African-built sloop, Bahati, with those faced by Slocum aboard his 37-foot Chesapeake Bay oyster-fishing vessel, Spray. The two boats are similar in design and capability though built more than 100 years apart, one in wood, the other in fiberglass. To both men, navigating the world's oceans came from a similar motivation: "...a natural outcome of [a] love of adventure, [and] of [our] lifelong experience" in, on and around the sea.
