Making Waves Through History

hether you’re underway on a family boating trip, stuck commuting, or just home cooking a meal, stories can transform where you are, taking you to different times and worlds’s best-selling author Doug Brunt about his book, and what it took to trace the footsteps of the mystery of this engineer and his untimely demise. Go a few more years forward to World War II and you can hear Senior Editor Shane Scott have a discussion with Holocaust history experts about how Denmark shined as a beacon to humanity by working to save over 90 percent of their Jewish population from the Nazi concentration camps by way of boat. Cross the ocean around the same time period to the U.S. where citizens were fighting for their right to party against the prohibition law, smuggling moonshine in the holds of gentleman racers—and hear how this history inspired a modern boat builder to recreate a little piece of this past. These are some conversations you won’t quite hear anywhere else, so we highly encourage our salty readers to visit or listen in on Apple, Spotify or whichever other podcast platform you prefer.
