Our guest speakers came all the way from MYSTIC SEAPORT, Conneticut. Mystic Seaport is a beautiful example of what is possible when everyone works together. They began their venture with a donation of two achres of land and a vision "to create a dynamic, educational institution to preserve America’s maritime culture – and turn the achievements of a past era into an inspirational force for the future." Seventy -five years later Mystic Seaport is America's most successful maritime museum and educaitonal center.(http://www.mysticseaport.org) Our speaker gave us an idea of what it takes to create a lasting and viable maritime project of this scope. Sausalito's own PHIL FRANK presented an historical overview of the Sausalito waterfront and a panel of RBMA representatives were on hand to answer questions and encourage a free exchange of ideas..
