SUMMARY:Coffee & Conversations at the Carlson Education Center: What is a Schooner?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 28\, 2025\n\n10:30 a.m.   11:30 a.m.\n\nCarlson Education Center\, CAM Green\n\n13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\n\nCAM Members Free\, Non-Members $5\n\nRegistration required as space is limited\n\nUp to the early 20th century\, schooners were the workhorses of the Gloucester fisheries under sail. But visitors to the Cape Ann Museum have often asked\, "What exactly is a Schooner?"  This presentation will provide an easy-to-remember definition of a schooner and will show its evolution from a small inshore fishing boat to an extreme racing type. Ship models from the Museum's collection and photos will illustrate the presentation.    \n\nYou are invited to join us every Thursday for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent\, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation\, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson?Education Center\, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience. \n\n \n\nImage Credit: Willard E. Andrews\, model of the Henry W. Longfellow\, 2013. Collection of the Cape Ann Museum. Gift of Willard E. and Linda Andrews\, in memory of Kay Ellis\, 2016.
