History of “The Sea Chest”
45 Years on the Printed Page

“The old-time sailor lived with his sea chest, kept his belongings in it, had a secret compartment for his precious items, and told his sea tales while seated on it. So now we are opening The Sea Chest of the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society and showing the secrets of the sea gathered in our archives with those interested in the sea and the ships that sail.”

Join us for a presentation by Ronald R. Burke of the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society as he gives an overview of the half-century history of the Sea Chest publication and its contents.
