Tiverton Public Library kicks off the first of three sessions, also scheduled for July 28 and August 18.  One of the aims is to connect people with collections of books on various maritime subjects, especially yacht designers and builders, small boat voyaging, and the art and literature of yachting.  The first three books to be discussed will be The Low Black Schooner by John Rousmaniere

Master and Commander and Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian will be discussed.  Copies of these books can be borrowed through the Ocean State Library catalog online with your library card at http://catalog.oslri.net/ or through a call or in-person visit to the library. The facilitator, Harris Gruber, has conducted these very discussions for the past 4 semesters at Second Half in Fall River.  These Patrick O'Brian tales are set in the time (and vernacular) of Jane Austen, the early 1800's, with both seafaring and overland travels and adventures that take our protagonists to the far corners of the world.
