NOTICE BOARD
Public lecture 2005 – Sea Liverpool Public Lectures
Tim Severin - The Brendan Voyage.
Tuesday 25 October 2005,
Sherrington Building,
6.30pm.
Tim Severin is renowned for his voyages, which
reconstruct those of ancient and medieval
travellers, and the books and documentaries,
which describe those adventures. Perhaps the
most famous is the Brendan Voyage, a hazardous
journey across the North Atlantic in a leather boat
in the wake of the medieval Irish monks who may
have journeyed to Iceland, Greenland and
Labrador. Other sea trips include the Sindbad
Voyage from the Oman to China in an Arab dhow,
the Ulysses and Jason Voyages in a Greek galley
around the eastern Mediterranean and as far as
Georgia, and the China Voyage by bamboo raft
across the Pacific Ocean. His other land voyages
were equally spectacular.
Refreshments will be served afterwards in the
foyer. The public lectures are free but places are
limited - you will need a ticket to gain entry. Please
call 0151 794 2650 for your ticket(s).
