Presentation - Thursday Feb 18
Our monthly meeting will be held at 7:30PM at the Maritime Museum (South Entrance) Thursday Februay 18th. Guest are welcome.
We are pleased to have John Horton, a marine artist who is well known to local sailors as Captain of the British Columbia Squadron of the Royal Naval Sailing Association.
Immerse yourself in an exciting power point presentation by John Horton describing Captain George Vancouver's exploration of the west coast of North America - the longest voyage of discovery, ever,under sail!
Included in the presentation are images of over 25 paintings produced by Horton to recreate this extraordinary voyage; historic and current maps;and photographs of sketches made by officers aboard Captain Vancouver ships. Not only is this an interesting historical talk, but it is also a creative and geographic delight as we explore the coast of Washington State, British Columbia and Alaska through the eyes of this talented and well known artist.




John's artwork that accompanied his lecture was inspiring and stunningly beautiful.
I highly recommend checking out his website and buying his book.
