Sea History Magazine, Winter 2019-20
Mia Sigler, a senior at Mount Holyoke and alumna of SEA Semester class S-283, the Global Ocean, has written a detailed account of the research she and her classmates did on the logbook of Falmouth whaleman Capt. Lewis Lawrence. Mia helped transcribe the logbook, studied an original chart from Lawrence's 1849 voyage, and she and her class followed portions of Capt. Lawrence's path in the South Pacific in the fall of 2018.
