Thursday, July 17, at 6:30 p.m., at Rockland Public Library, Muriel Curtis will share stories and photos about the history and current work of Station Maine, in Rockland.

After teaching music, English, and social studies in the public school system, Curtis spent ten years under sail, during which she became one of the first women in the country to earn a USCG 100 ton Aux Sail Captain's license. Her passion for teaching and the sea has manifested in Station Maine, an organization of community members dedicated to offering boating opportunities, at no cost, to youth of all ages in the Midcoast Maine area. Under Curtis' direction, Station Maine has been offering experiential education opportunities and fostering the preservation of the traditional skills of the sea since 2001.

This program is free and open to all and will take place in the library's Community Room. For more information or for Zoom links, please email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov.

The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union St.
