The Friends of Fort Trumbull S.P. to present “A Song of Whales and Men”

 Imagine life on the Charles W. Morgan!

Songs of pride, bravado, pity, sadness, grief, triumph and despair- all of these emotions can be found in the music which depicts mariners’ relationship with the Goliaths of the sea.  Rick Spencer and Geoff Kaufman, internationally known authorities on the history and presentation of traditional maritime songs, in collaboration with Mystic Seaport, will present a new musical program on man’s relationship with cetaceans, using songs from a variety of whaling cultures and periods to explore this multifaceted relationship. This musical program is timed to coincide with the activities planned for the newly-restored whaling vessel CHARLES W.MORGAN, which is being prepared to sail again in 2014

 The presentation will take place on Thursday, May 29, 2014, at 7 p.m., at the Conference Center at Fort Trumbull, New London.  The event is open to the public free of charge, but seating is limited.  New members to the Friends are encouraged and welcome.  Refreshments will follow the presentation.
