He is chair of the board of the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath\, Maine\, which marineinsight.com named one of the ten best maritime museums in the world. \nHe has lectured on topics across the broad spectrum of maritime enterprise\, including literature of the sea\, exploration\, museum curatorship\, decorative arts\, maritime law\, trade\, and naval history.

Before turning to writing fulltime\, he spent fourteen years as a non-fiction and reference book editor in New York. He is on the editorial board of The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord\, and has also served as an editor of Sea History magazine and Itinerario: Journal of Imperial and Global Interactions. \nBefore the 1950s\, if you wanted to get to the Americas\, you had to come by boat. This was true of the waves of celebrities aboard art deco-inspired ocean liners\, of nineteenth-century European immigrants\, of enslaved Africans from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries\, and of Spanish\, English\, and other European conquistadors from the late fourteenth century. It was also true of successive waves of people who\, starting around 15\,000 years ago\, migrated from Northeast Asia to North America and then spread south\, east\, and\, as the ice sheet retreated\, north\, many of them relying on rivers and lakes for migration\, fishing\, hunting\, and exchange. \nThis talk will sketch the broad outlines of Native Americans’ use of waterways and watercraft over the many millennia before Europeans even imagined such a thing as the Americas. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sidebar_1″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
