of many different ships in the world-wide fleet. Nic Hardisty, Tall Ships America’s resident historian and program coordinator, explores maritime history and some of the notable characters and stories that shaped the American experience from ship to shore. In Season 1, Erin had conversations with people who have had shipboard and shoreside experience from Flagship Niagara League, Sultana Education Foundation, Sea Education Association, the 1877 barque Elissa, and the Rosalia Project for a Clean Ocean, along with many others. Nic’s Season 1 conversations cover the Gaspee Affair, African maritime heritage, early American maritime colonies, the sea trials and tribulations of Christopher Raymond Perry (father of naval heroes Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew Calbraith Perry), whalers’ wives, and what happens when you put a bear aboard a tall ship. With the positive reception the podcast received, the pair organized a second season, which aired on 19 March 2021. These episodes and future broadcasts feature sea stories, inspiration, and a little bit of everything else.
