Transatlantic Train : Boston, Liverpool & Cape Cod Sea Captains

Transatlantic Train : Boston, Liverpool & Cape Cod Sea Captains

Presented by Historical Society of Old Yarmouth and Cultural Center of Cape Cod at Cultural Center of Cape Cod

Enoch Train was a poor orphan from a remote country village who somehow became one of the most important maritime figures in nineteenth-century Boston. He played a key role in the career of renowned shipbuilder Donald McKay, and operated Boston’s most successful transatlantic shipping line. And as you will hear, two of his most trusted captains were Cape Codders from maritime families—one of whom, sadly, was lost in tragic circumstances on a return voyage from Liverpool. Join Vin Miles as he presents this fascinating story.
