The Sippican Historical Society will sponsor a lecture by Marion resident Peter McCormick about his passage in the Australian-built exact replica of “His Majesty’s Bark Endeavour,” the ship in which British Captain James Cook made the first of his three voyages of exploration in the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1771.

The lecture will be held at the Marion Music Hall (164 Front Street) on Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.  No reservations are required.  For more information, visit www.sippicanhistoricalsociety.org or call 508-748-1116.
