  • The woman speaking from :24 to :43 is Mary K. Bercaw-Edwards. She is the foreperson of the Mystic Seaport Marine Outdoor Demonstration Squad, she is also a college professor with a Ph.D. in English Literature, with a specialty in Herman Melville. I consider Mary K. to be one of the foremost authorities in the world on sailor's work and culture. And I am also very honored to consider her a mentor and friend.

    Great job with the video, as always, Gibb!
