Chatham Marconi Welcomes Dr. Michael Pregot to its Speaker Series
Cape Cod has long been a focal point for our country’s maritime activities from the very beginning of the pre-colonial period, through our wars with England, into the great age of sail, right into Twentieth Century travel, and beyond to exciting present-day regattas. Many sea captains have distinguished themselves by opening new harbors for trade, in winning heroic sea battles, and demonstrating entrepreneurial genius with their nautical skills and tactics. We will learn the names of these bold seamen and have an occasion to see and appreciate what these sailors have accomplished for themselves, for their local towns, and for the benefit of a developing young nation.
