All of the fun of a regular SULTANA trip with the added treat of hearing great music by local artist.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" - part of the 60s series of movies presented to the River Arts Film Club.

This critically acclaimed, classic trial film burst onto the scene in 1962, revealing ugly truths at a time when Civil Rights activists and students were challenging segregation in the South. The story takes place in 1930s Alabama as Atticus Finch, a widowed lawyer (Gregory Peck) defends a black man falsely accused of raping an impoverished white woman. The innocence of Finch’s young children — daughter, Scout, and son, Jem — gives way to understanding crucial lessons about prejudice and the fears that motivate it.

Talkback Facilitator: Reverend Ellsworth Tolliver

Event seating is limited. Pre-registration is required for everyone. Priority seating is given to Film Society Members.

Departing and returning from SULTANA’s home port of historic Chestertown (and occasionally other ports around the Chesapeake), SULTANA’s two-hour public sails are a great way to sail the Chester River onboard a traditional schooner. Passengers are encouraged to help raise the sails, steer using Sultana’s seven-foot long tiller, and explore the authentically reproduced crew’s quarters below-decks.
