The annual “Maritime Memoirs” features all forms of writing by local seafarers, boatbuilders, marine enthusiasts, ocean lovers, and water babies. On the mic this year are Brad Abbot and Nat Benjamin from Gannon & Benjamin Marine Railway; Christina Colarusso, a member of the Tisbury select board; Caitlin Jones of Mermaid Farm, and daughter of recently deceased Island maritime legend Ginny Jones; and regular literary arts contributors at Pathways Julia Kidd and Anthony Lefeber.

Wooden boat mariner, James (“Jimmy”) Wallen is in the lineup, and electrical contractor and part-time mariner Cole Powers, and M.V.’s celebrated and award-winning maritime history educator Matthew Stackpole.
