WINCHENDON — On Wednesday, July 13, at 6 p.m., the Beals Memorial Library is inviting landlubbers young and old to rock the boat to some sea chanteys and other maritime musical delights with the Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society. Enjoy traditional songs of New England maritime history, tall tales of pirates and shipwrecks, sailors’ hornpipes, and capstan jigs that will float your boat from dockside to dogwatch!

This program is funded in part by the Winchendon Cultural Council and the Friends of the Beals Memorial Library.
