Description
On Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 6:00 pm, in the Community Room at the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, Captain Sean Meagher will give a presentation about his 2016 voyage on board the Mega Yacht Latitude to Svalbard, an archipelago north of Norway, a mere 400 miles from the North Pole. The Latitude is the only private vessel to have circumnavigated the archipelago, and the only one to have reached above 81° north. In his presentation, Captain Meagher will discuss the island chain, which is a Norwegian free economic zone and is home to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. He’ll show a short film he made about the expedition, followed by a short Q&A session.
