</b>BREWSTER, MA. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, MA
presents <br>
<i>Atlantis Stories, Before the Mast on a Sailing Research Vessel,
1944-1948 by William Cooper, <br>
</i>a publication of the Woods Hole Historical Museum, <b>Sunday April
26, 2015 at 1pm.<br><br>
</b> Based on the memoirs of Cape Cod boat builder Bill Cooper, who
as a teenager in 1944, served aboard the Research Vessel <i>Atlantis,
</i>the world’s largest ketch operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution. Cooper writes about shipboard life conducting early research
on antisubmarine warfare. His cast of characters includes larger
than life wartime seamen, the now elderly Scandinavian sailors from a
past era who learned their trade on the hard road to Cape Horn and in the
North Atlantic in wintertime, and who became his teachers in the
classrooms of the wheelhouse, the fo’c’sle, and the sea-washed
deck. Editors Arthur Gaines and Jay Burnett, both seagoing
scientists, add to the story’s dimension with sidebars on science,
technology and biography. Join us for this rare look into life on board
the original <i>Atlantis!<br><br>
</i>The presentation will be held at the Museum on Sunday, April
26<sup>th</sup> at 1pm<br><br>
<b>Free with Museum Admission<br><br>
