The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Atlantis Stories: Before the Mast on a Sailing Research Vessel, 1944-1948
with
  Editors Arthur Gaines & Jay Burnett



BREWSTER, MA. ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, MA presents
Atlantis Stories, Before the Mast on a Sailing 
Research Vessel, 1944-1948 by William Cooper,
a publication of the Woods Hole Historical 
Museum, Sunday April 26, 2015  at 1pm.

  Based on the memoirs of Cape Cod boat builder 
Bill Cooper, who as a teenager in 1944, served 
aboard the Research Vessel Atlantis, 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 Atlantis!

The presentation will be held at the Museum on Sunday, April 26th at 1pm

  Free with Museum Admission
