Bob Elwell to Speak on Cape May’s Maritime History

CAPE MAY — Bob Elwell to speak on Cape May’s Maritime History at The Saltwater Cafe as free “Harborside Chats” resume on Thurs. evening, Sept. 19 beginning at 6:00.
Hosted by the Nature Center of Cape May, local historian, former mayor and lifelong Cape May resident Robert Elwell will lead off the fall series of “chats” with a factual presentation about Cape May’s maritime history.
Since the Nature Center’s Charlotte Todd Education Hall is currently ongoing a major upgrade, the owners of South Jersey Marina have graciously made the Saltwater Cafe available for Mr. Elwell’s presentation.
The lecture is free; however donations to assist in funding the final stage of the Todd Education Hall renovation will be much appreciated.
Attendees are invited to arrive early in order to view the Kathy Fallon Photography exhibit which is currently on display at the Cafe, courtesy of the Gail Pierson Gallery.
The Nature Center of Cape May (NCCM) is situated on the rim of Cape May Harbor at 1600 Delaware Avenue in Cape May. One of 10 centers operated by New Jersey Audubon, the Center provides family oriented programming in the marine sciences on a year-round basis. The public is invited to visit our campus, shop at the nature store and view the breathtaking harbor and its environment from the Trucksess Observation tower.
