Don't Let the Cat out of the Bag: Maritime Slang After-Hours Event
Slang is unofficial and unconventional, but it reflects how people really talk to one another. There’s a long list of words and turns of phrase we use today that originate from the maritime world. Explore the Brix Maritime Hall and This is Our Place, a recent collaboration with the Chinook Indian Nation, or shop the Museum Store when doors open at 5:30. Then join us for a presentation with US Navy Veteran, US Coast Guard Veteran, Merchant Mariner, and Thalassophile Jason “Boats” Linnett to dive into the maritime origins of many common phrases. This program is for guests aged 21 and up. A drink ticket option is available for purchase with lecture registration.
