Edgartown

Marc Songini, author of The Lost Fleet, a Yankee Whaler’s Struggle Against the Confederate Navy and Arctic Disaster, will speak on Whaling Heroes from Martha’s Vineyard when Sail Martha’s Vineyard hosts its final winter fireside dinner and lecture at the Black Dog Tavern on Thursday, March 13, at 6 p.m.

Mr. Songini will cover such heroes as the Jernegan cousins, Nathaniel and Jared, who with their wives and families on board ship, faced mutinies, shipwreck, Arctic destruction and more.

Vineyard residents are invited to attend a free workshop on Friday, March 14, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the large dining room at Windemere Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

The workshop will be presented by Karen Wacks, a professor at Berklee College of Music.

Vigorous environmental protection, in the form of a revised bylaw, was approved for five ancient ways by a throng of voters in Edgartown’s Old Whaling Church last night.

The popular vote was not swayed by the impassioned and sustained pleas of several members of the Hall family, whose 74 acres of property is crossed by several of the paths. Voters approved the bylaw by a margin of 199 to 47.
