Audi and Peter Souza entertained friends, volunteers, and members with an evening of song and a celebration of the Chantey art form, December 17th, 2020 at 6 PM. A short presentation of chantey history was followed by a live performance. Hosted by Board member Bill Barton, there was a lot of engaging conversation amidst a celebratory atmosphere. It was a lovely ride through sea history and a festive musical event during the holiday season!

“With her usual mystery this living creature of wood arouses our sense of community and heritage, provokes our curiosity about our energetic, romantic, heroic, tragic, exploitative, sacrificial, workaday past, and evokes our pride…”
