Zakota Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dear shipmates! You are most heartily invited to 'A Weekend in the World of Patrick O'Brian's Beloved Characters, Jack Aubrey & Stephen Maturin' - taking place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, October 16th-18th, at Historic Montgomery's Inn. The three-day event is a rendezvous for all enthusiasts of these marvellous novels, to share their love of the canon, whilst immersing themselves in the atmosphere and world of the series, through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on workshops by several renowned historians, as well as food and drink featured in the novels (prepared over a hearth in the historic kitchen), a performance of music featured in the canon, a costume ball with live music, a reading of the Articles of War, discussion groups, a bad navy poetry reading, an historic merchants' and sutlers' market, and much more. Come be immersed in and learn more about the world of these fantastic novels. Experience the sights, sounds, smells and tastes all so familiar to the Napoleonic sailor with lectures led by distinguished historian Victor Suthren, Hon. Captain RCN, as well as talks by Ship’s Cook Gurth Pretty and Ship’s Purser Glendon Hovey - all in the atmosphere of Toronto's oldest historic inn, our very own 'Grapes' in the Liberties of the Savoy.
