Don't miss this fascinating talk from Robert Smith MBE, Port of Wells Harbour Master, and author of 'Crossing the Bar' and 'Tales of a Harbour Master'.
Robert grew up in Wells-next-the Sea, and in 2000 he came Harbour Master. This, plus his 27 year tenure as crew and second Coxswain on the Wells lifeboat, has given him a great appreciation of the power and unpredictability of the sea. In 2016/17 Robert was recognised in the New Year’s Honours List and awarded an MBE for his services to the Port and Community of Wells. The following year, Robert published his first book, 'Crossing the Bar', described as being ‘a hymn to the most beautiful coastline in the world’. The book has received countrywide acclaim. No small feat for a man challenged by dyslexia! A natural storyteller, Robert is a popular public speaker. 'Tales of a Harbour Master' not only take his audience on a journey of discovery of the history and workings of the Port, but also provides a light-hearted and amusing glimpse of his life as Harbour Master. Please also have a look at our blog post. |
