Charles Axel Poekel Jr. Signs New Book, Vencedor

June 9th - 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
​Chicago Maritime Museum
1200 W 35th St, Chicago, IL 60609
Admission is free, reservations not required. The books will be for sale at $27.95.

Impeccably researched and colorfully told, Vencedor is a fascinating account of not just a racing sailboat storied for its exploits and victories, but of the man who built it—a young 33 year-old Danish-American naval engineer, Thorvald S. Poekel. Vencedor would distinguish itself in a series of highly competitive races between the United States and Canada on what was called “the great unsalted sea” – the Great Lakes.
