“Arctic to Antarctic to Alaska: Sailing in the Wake of the Pacific Northwest Maritime Fur Trade”
By Mark Roye & Nancy Krill
Their slide show and lecture combines Nancy’s fine photography with mark’s passion for story telling and maritime history. The presentation chronicles their voyages aboard our steel ketch Tamara from Hudson Strait in the Eastern Canadian Arctic to Alaska, by way of Newfoundland, the Azores, Cape Verde, Brazil, Argentina, the Falklands, Cape Horn, Antarctica, Chile and the Galapagos—the route of mariners who, bound for the Pacific Northwest, opened those secret drawers and lockers of our world, and ushered our young nation to the forefront of world trade.
Mark had a long career skippering fishing vessels from the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea, his dreams were of the aurora borealis, massive icebergs, and majestic fjords. Nancy was trained as a geologist, and she’s also widely traveled throughout the more exotic parts of the world.
