For those in New York there is a special program, Women At Sea: Screening, Conversation, Reception, next Wednesday, March 30th, at the Community Church of New York, 40 East 35th Street, New York, NY at 6:00 PM. The program features a screening of the PBS documentary “Shipping Out—The Story of America’s Seafaring Women” followed by a conversation with seven women mariners who work as captains, mates, engineers and pilots.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at through the Working Harbor Committee.
Oh oh oh! That’s Wednesday? I thought that was on Saturday and I was all bummed out ’cause I thought I was going to have to miss it.
I LOVED Jessica DuLong’s book – wish I’d gotten to know her better when I was at Pier 63, although I think we didn’t overlap all that much.
Sounds like a great program. I’m looking forward to it. I often have a conflict on Wednesdays but the 30th I’m free.
I loved Jessica’s book as well.
