|
Join Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee of Castlebay as they take you on a musical journey through time and across the Atlantic, interweaving songs, spritely dance tunes, and haunting aires inspired by their nautical and Celtic heritage. Exuberant and expressive vocals are supported with Julia's Lane's unique award-winning Celtic harp style, and Fred Gosbee's expertise on 12-string guitar, violin and woodwinds.
Since 1984 Castlebay has created a body of work which celebrates Maine’s maritime heritage and environment. Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee have loved and researched traditional music for most of their lives. Known for their intelligent arrangements of traditional music, they have also received critical praise for their evocative original compositions.
Many of their songs have as themes the lives of those who live by the sea, not only the deep water sailors, but also the shipwrights, coasters, fisherman and their wives. These are the people who established Maine as a maritime legend and who continue to build that legend with their daily lives of skill, hard work and pride.
This program is part of the Rockport Public Library's month long Seafaring Series. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Rockport Public Library and will be held at the Rockport Opera House.

Alec will provide an intriguing and insightful look into the process and skill of rebuilding historic classic yachts, the storied history of the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company, and some understanding into what motivates those who undertake such projects.
Alec grew up sailing and racing wooden boats on Maine’s idyllic Penobscot Bay, and after many years working in local boatyards and crewing on large classic yachts around the world, founded Artisan Boatworks in 2002. Artisan Boatworks specializes in the new construction, restoration, storage, and maintenance of classic wooden yachts.

Join Eden Leonard as she talks about the World Ocean School and their historic landmark tall-ship Roseway, a schooner built in 1925 in Essex, MA, with a notable history.
World Ocean School is a nonprofit educational organization based in Camden, ME. They provide an authentic method of experiential education at sea that empowers students of all backgrounds to reach their full potential as responsible, productive, and engaged community members. The Roseway is normally operated out of Boston, MA.
Eden started with World Ocean School in 2009 as a deckhand eager to teach aboard despite never having sailed previously. The experience of learning to sail aboard Roseway was profoundly transformative on her. She is currently the Executive Director of World ocean School.
This program is part of the Rockport Public Library's month long Seafaring Series. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Rockport Public Library and will be held at the Rockport Opera House.
