Viking to Victorian<br />
Tuesday October 14th at 4:00 PM<br />
CBMM Members $5, Non-members $8<br />
Olaf Engvig, a well-known maritime scholar, author<br />
and captain of historic vessels, will talk about his latest<br />
book, Viking to Victorian: Exploring the Use of Iron<br />
in Ship Building. The book covers a 1,000-year span of<br />
iron as marine technology and includes thrilling firsthand<br />
accounts of open sea exploration in a small open<br />
1863 longboat—completely original including the sail.<br />
Engvig’s credentials include a remarkable connection to<br />
authentic 19th century vessels and techniques. Astonishingly,<br />
Engvig learned square-rig sailing directly from<br />
a teacher born in the 19th century whose knowledge<br />
was acquired the traditional way—passed along century<br />
after century directly from the early Vikings.<br />
