A Children's Book About Museum Manners Is released By The Noble Maritime Collection

The Noble Maritime Collection will celebrate the publication of a new children’s book, The Terrible Captain Jack Visits the Museum, on Grandparent’s Day, Sunday, September 9, 2007 from 2 until 5 PM at the museum.

In The Terrible Captain Jack Visits the Museum or A Guide to Museum Manners for Incorrigible Pirate and the Like, a worldly ship’s monkey explains how to behave in a museum to Captain Jack, “a mean and dangerous pirate” with a lot of curiosity.

Author and illustrator Diane Matyas, former Director of Programming at the Noble Maritime Collection, will read from her book and sign copies.

The Viva Voce Chamber Ensemble will fill the halls of the museum with pirate music. Guest will enjoy refreshments of a nautical nature.

Members of the museum’s CloseKnit club have knitted little ship’s monkeys which will be on sale to commemorate the publication of the book.

The book is on sale at the museum for $10.00. One can also order it by calling the museum.

Admission to the museum will be free on Grandparent’s Day.
