10/14/2016 Master and Commander: a weekend in Nelson's Navy Downtown


City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/2ddp4Pu The year is 1800. Standing on the deck of a British warship, you hear the wind snapping her sails and the creak of her wooden hull. Then--a strange ship is sighted on the horizon, and you're off in hot pursuit! This event offers a unique immersive experience: you will spend three days in the world of the Royal Navy of 200 years ago. Learn about aboard ship and on shore, from writing with quill pens to eating the foods sailors knew, learning the dances they loved, even trying out a few cutlass moves! Concert of ballads and naval songs, a harbour cruise, historical meals by firelight, dancing, demonstrations, hearth-cooking workshops, and much, much more! Pre-registration encouraged, and meals must be booked in advance.
