St George Historical Society presents:
"Borne On the Wind"
Thursday, April 18, 2024
Town Office Meeting Room
John R. Anderson presents his book "Borne On the Wind". The book highlights the life of his grandfather, Anders Anderson, and his career as a Maine schooner captain during the age of sail. Anderson sailed out of Stonington, Camden and Rockland on passages from Nova Scotia to Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Cuba and other Caribbean ports. Over the years, some of the cargo included granite from Clark Island and Long Cove.
John Anderson, the son of a local fisherman, graduated from Rockland District High School and majored in political science at the University of Maine. He worked in the international travel industry for many years and then taught middle school history and English.
