Event Date: 
Wednesday, August 11, 2021 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm

This summer, Bob will deliver four presentations on four distinctly different subjects.  Patrons can enroll in advance to attend any individual talks or for the full series.  The programs will be presented on the following dates:  July 28, August 4, 11, and 18.

Aug 11—N.E. Lightships—will survey lightships principally anchored off the coasts of Massachusetts and Maine at dangerous locations where lighthouses were not feasible.  Although often overlooked, lightships were often more important than lighthouses and the life was perilous.
