QBM Lecture Series ft. John MacFarlane

125 Years of BC Nautical History Through the Experiences of One Family

Please join us as we welcome John M. MacFarlane, FRGS, who will share some of British Columbia’s nautical history as told through the lives and experiences of his Grandfather, his Father, his brothers, their children, and himself. With more than 125 years on the coastal waters of B.C., the stories and legends from the lives of John and his family are fascinating, moving, and amusing!

John is a best selling author, and in 2020, he shared the John Lyman Book Prize of the North American Society of Oceanic History for his book ‘Around the World in a Dugout Canoe: The Untold Story of Captain John Voss and the Tilikum’. In 2021, he also published ‘Shipwreck! A Chronicle of Marine Accidents and Disasters in British Columbia’.
