Free dockside presentations are scheduled for three times a week aboard the skipjack Wilma Lee.
Sponsored by the Ocracoke Island non-profit organization, Ocracoke Alive, the talks include the following:
Tuesdays at 11 a.m.: "The Story of the Wilma Lee" Take a tour and learn about this beautiful historic wooden boat with Tom Pahl.
Wednesdays at 1 p.m.: "Pirate Tales & Fiddle Music" True lies and lotsa "arrrrr." with Captain Rob & Fiddler Dave.
Thursdays at 11 a.m.: "Sailboats on the Sound" Hear salty tales and learn about the colorful history of sailing vessels on Pamlico Sound with Philip Howard.
Programs will take about 1/2 hour and are free to the public. Come to the docks at the Community Square where you'll find the Wilma Lee.
Content and schedule are subject to change.

ReplyDeleteThe plan is to continue the dockside talks through the summer, and maybe into the early fall.
