Learn about restoration of historic yacht

The Friends of the Jamestown Library's second lecture of the Sailing Series will be held tonight - Thursday, March 9 - at 7:30 p.m. The talk will feature Susan Daly of the International Yacht Restoration School who will bring to life the background of the yacht "Coronet," the last remaining American schooner yacht of her kind.

Built in 1885, the 133-foot schooner yacht Coronet is a magnificent example from the great age of yachting. The yacht's remarkable record of ownership and her extensive voyaging make her a historic vessel of unique and international significance. The International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) is restoring Coronet. Learn to knit socks at library
