Under Sail: Experiences, People, and Destinations
Whether seen from sea, land, or air, sailing vessels have had a timeless attraction for many. For those who have found sailing a pastime, sport or passion, the wind and spray of water, and the boat rocking beneath you can be a calming, energizing, and challenging experience. This exhibition offers an opportunity to gain a new perspective on sailing.
