The Explorer in All of Us With Captain Sean P. Meagher
In Person | Thursday, July 22 | 2 PM
|
|

Join Captain Sean P. Meagher at the OVL for a journey through the Northwest Passage, the North Pole, and the South Pacific that all started here in Nantucket Sound.
He reminds us that there is an explorer in all of us, and that the adventure starts in your imagination--where all dreams are possible.
Captain Sean P. Meagher captained one of only nine yachts ever to successfully complete the journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean via the Northwest Passage. On the yacht MY Latitude, Captain Meagher achieved the passage not once, but twice, traversing the frozen wastelands between North American and the pole in both westbound and eastward directions. (Link to article this passage was taken from.)
