Cape Ann Master Shipwright Leon Poindexter to Give Talk at New Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum – Ships Built in Gloucester
Hello Joey:
Local Cape Ann resident Master Shipwright Leon Poindexter has built the ships (the Beaver and the Eleanor) for the new Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum in Gloucester (the Dartmouth will be built in 2014). On Sat., March 16, Leon will be giving a talk about the historic role the ships of the Boston Tea Party played and their re-creation for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum as part of the museum’s new 2013 Speaker Series. I thought this might be of interest to your Good Morning Gloucester followers. Also Attached is a shot of Leon – direct out of central casting. Here are the details:
March 2013 – The Ships of the Boston Tea Party – Their Historic Role and Re-Creation
Cape Ann, Mass. local Leon Poindexter, a master shipwright of several historic vessels and consultant to maritime museums, will provide a fascinating overview of the historic Boston Tea Party ships: the Beaver, Dartmouth and Eleanor, discuss the influence the ships and their captains played before, during and after the Boston Tea Party and highlight the re-creation of these historic ships for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Ship building is one of the oldest industries in the United States with roots in the earliest New England colonial settlements. Mr. Poindexter learned his trade from some of the last of the “old timers” who worked in the famed shipyards of Essex and Cape Ann, Mass. With more than 30 years experience, he builds, repairs and restores large traditionally built historic wooden sailing vessels and their rigs. Some of his vessels are on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to recreating the Beaver and Eleanor in Gloucester, Mass. for the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, Mr. Poindexter has worked on many other important ships, including the USS Constitution and the USS Massachusetts. He was the master shipwright in recreating the HMS Surprise, used in the Academy Award-winning movie “Master and Commander” starring Russell Crowe. He will also be bringing many of the traditional tools still used in ship building. Also included in the ticket price is clam chowder, corn bread and beer or lemonade.
Date: Sat., March 16, 2013
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Price: $35/ticket (adult)/ $15 (children aged 17 & under)
