SUMMARY:Boat Banter on the Barge
DESCRIPTION:Join us January 17 for a low-key conversation about boats\, maritime\, and ideas connected to water and waterfronts featuring professional sailor\, educator and advocate\, Margaret Flanagan. Barge captain David Sharps\, host Stefan D-W\, and Waterfront Museum guests sit down with Maggie for a casual conversation about waterfront access and management\, boat stories from the harbor and beyond\, and whatever other topics the tide washes in on Saturday\, January 17 between 2 and 3pm at the Waterfront Museum barge moored at Brooklyn’s Pier 44 (290 Conover St.). This is during the museum’s regular open hours and admission is by suggested donation (people usually leave between $2 and $20). \nBoat Banter on the Barge brings experts to the Waterfront Museum’s showboat barge during the winter months for low-key conversation about boats\, maritime\, and ideas connected to water and waterfronts. Experts draw up a chair in the heated side of the barge during the museum’s regular open hours on Saturday afternoons\, and all visitors are invited to participate in the conversation as much or as little as they like. Our guest experts come from academia\, industry\, preservation\, and beyond. They include tug and ship captains; marine and industrial historians and archaeologists; journalists\, preservationists\, and advocates; scholars in blue humanities\, coastal studies\, landscape history\, and related fields; engineers\, boatwrights and more. \nMargaret (Maggie) Flanagan is a native New Yorker\, who after years of teaching environmental education to city youth\, brought her expertise out to the waterfront. While sailing professionally in our harbor\, down the coast\, and on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans\, she continued inspiring students and community members to better understand and appreciate our valuable natural resources and vibrant maritime heritage.  Back at homeport\, Maggie developed innovative community access and education programs for Waterfront Alliance and currently works aboard harbor passenger vessels while serving as a subcommittee chair with the NY-NJ Harbor & Estuary Program and with the Harbor Safety\, Navigation\, and Operations Committee.  She believes that our waters and waterfront are precious public resources\, deserving increased public access and transparent management.  Though she’s sailed far and wide\, Maggie considers herself lucky to go to work every day on New York Harbor!
