Chefs

Sam Collins is a maritime historian and sea cook with 20 years of experience on boats and islands up and down the New England coast. His passion is to put a human face on the past, and remind us that people have more similarities than differences across the centuries. He currently divides his time between working aboard the Maine schooners, American Eagle and J&E Riggin, and the small farm he and his husband run not too far from saltwater.

Mike Dekker is an historic researcher and author specializing in 17th and 18th century New England. Mike presents history both through presentations and as living history. Using carefully curated displays of documents, period images and museum quality material culture representations, Mike is able to promote learning by engaging all the senses in a fun and dynamic manner.
