A magical evening of sea shanties awaits you at the Stimson-Green Mansion! Presented by Maritime Folknet, we’ll be joined by the lively maritime group, Shanghaied on the Willamette.

This musical duo comprised of musicians Jonathan Lay and Gordy Euler will perform songs and tunes “plundered from land and sea,” on a range of instruments. They especially love the music of seas and waterways, and have performed traditional Celtic, English, and American music, along with their own songs, at the festivals, pubs, and concert halls all around the Pacific Northwest.

This concert will be hosted on our historic Veranda overlooking the lush First Hill Park as the sun sets—a perfect Seattle summer evening!

About Maritime Washington National Heritage Area

The Maritime Washington National Heritage Area is a non-regulatory, regionwide partnership program that strengthens, shares, and connects our state’s maritime communities and resources. We know that the peoples and organizations along Washington’s saltwater shorelines can have limited opportunity to collaborate and celebrate their vibrant water-based cultures—often leaving Washington’s maritime heritage under-appreciated. That’s why Maritime Washington partners with diverse, cross-sector organizations to connect the maritime community, protect our resources, and connect residents and visitors alike with our state’s maritime heritage.

For those working to preserve and interpret maritime heritage, this means more ways to connect: with your peers doing similar work, with funding opportunities and technical assistance, with new regional and national audiences, and with allies to help advocate for your mission.

For all those who live, work, and play along our saltwater shores, we’re here to help you get to know this region even better by sharing the best places to experience our rich maritime heritage and introducing you to new stories and voices from our saltwater shores.

About Maritime Folknet

Maritime Folknet is a federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving maritime culture and history, and encouraging people to explore and participate in that culture and history. They do this primarily through the music that highlights their boats and the people who work them, especially in the Pacific Northwest.

They create programs and events that celebrate our maritime heritage, educate the public, and advocate preserving it. They collaborate with other organizations and individuals to bring these programs to the public. They are funded by memberships, public grants, and private donations.

They create paying opportunities for maritime musicians to perform for the public at free or low cost events, and they have released compilation CDs of Northwest maritime music.

 

This is a part of the community programming organized by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and supported by 4Culture. See more community event offerings here.
