Lecture-Book Review at the
Sail, Power and Steam Museum

 

 



On Friday, June 24, at 7pm, Captain Jim Sharp will give a talk about the Autobiography of Captain Jack Crowell “I loved this Work…I have been delightfully busy.” Included in the presentation is the DVD, “Journey to the Edge of Disaster”. This promises to be a fascinating evening about the life and adventures of a fascinating man.

From hours of audio tapes recorded by Captain Jim Sharp, the voice of Captain Jack Crowell, master of the famed schooner Gertrude L. Thebaud will resonate richly from the speakers while the video images of a magnificent schooner in big trouble, hard aground in a remote and barren wilderness of Frobisher Bay, holds you spellbound. Captain Jack narrates this very personal and agonizing experience in his own voice, in his own words, in his own emotion while the camera pans ice cakes, polar bears and the jagged rocks of the Canadian Arctic.
The book and DVD are available for purchase on the Sail, Power and Steam Museum website. The talk is free, donations always appreciated.

Sharp’s Point South and the Sail, Power and Steam Museum are at 75 Mechanic Street in Rockland. For more information on the Sail, Power and Steam Museum and this book, 207-701-7627, ssmuseum@midcoast.com or visit the website at www.sailpowerandsteammuseum.org.
