A special lecture with
John J. King ll


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster is proud to present Close 
Encounters of the Ocean Kin, a special lecture 
with explorer, photographer, author and Chatham 
conservationist John King Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 1pm.

John is an entrepreneur with a diverse resume, 
who has strong ties to Cape Cod that span many 
generations. After finishing college, John spent 
more than 7 years working as a commercial 
fisherman on vessels in Alaska. He became a 
licensed ship's Master at the age of 27 and 
skippered the 180 foot crabber, M/v Baranof, 
operating in the Bering Sea during the "hey day" 
of the king crab fishery. In more recent years, 
John has been pursuing a lifelong passion to 
experience and record the earth’s wild places and 
wild things through his photography. Locally he 
is the skipper of the R/v Aleutian Dream which is 
facilitating the white shark population study 
currently being conducted by the Massachusetts 
Shark Research Program with support from the 
Atlantic White Shark Conservancy in outer Cape 
waters. He is also a co-founder together with his 
wife Pam, of The Common Flat Project, a 
conservation organization dedicated to creating 
awareness of the importance of earth’s 
biodiversity especially on Cape Cod. Their first 
book entitled: Wild Cape Cod, Free by Nature was 
published by Schiffer Publishing in 2012.

  During this hour-long presentation, you will 
hear John’s stories and see dramatic photographs 
(both above and below the water) of unique 
encounters with sharks and whales around the 
planet. He will also share insights into his 
personal voyage of re-discovery of the coastal 
and ocean wildlife in the waters off Cape Cod and elsewhere in the world.

Free with Museum Admission.
