🌊 Join us for an inspiring maritime talk by Baden Pascoe! 🌊
Discover the incredible story of the coastal schooner Daring, which was beached during a westerly storm in 1865 and re-emerged from the sands of Muriwai Beach 153 years later. ⛵
In this presentation, Baden will share the Daring's rich history, remarkable recovery, and significance in preserving New Zealand’s maritime and social heritage from the mid-1800s.
Baden comes from a family deeply connected to the sea, with maritime roots tracing back to 1814 in Cornwall. His father, Howard Pascoe, was a pioneering dinghy designer and builder, best known for his dory creations at Whitianga. One of Howard’s most iconic boats, “John Dory,” will be a floating exhibit at this event!
Baden is a true maritime historian, co-founding the Auckland Maritime Heritage Working Group and Auckland’s Tug and Towboat race, now a key part of the Auckland Anniversary Regatta. He has written extensively on maritime history, with articles featured in Professional Skipper Magazine and several books to his name.
