August’s GulfChat: The Trouble With Ironclads with Jeffery Seymour

GulfQuest is teaming up with a panel of experts (Mike Thomin and Jen Knutson) to give a seminar.

GulfQuest Gulf Chats are informal talks featuring knowledgeable presenters discussing topics important to the maritime industry.

Dr. Alison Henry gave a very informative and entertaining GulfChat presentation on January 12, 2023 about the Pelican Girls! Below is a brief summary about who these girls were and how they ended up in our area.

"In early 1704, Bienville wrote to the French Crown (King Louis XIV) asking for girls of marriageable age to be sent to the colony at Mobile (Dauphine Island) to marry the single French settlers living there."

Mary Jo Broussard, a Mobile County Master Gardener takes us through an exciting journey of plant species and identifies invasive ones to avoid! Then, Dr. Ann Jurgens-Pond from "Friends of Mobile Trees" takes us on a virtual field trip of the Mobile-area Live Oak Trees.

NOAA Meteorologist Jason Beaman gave a very interesting lesson on how area hurricanes are tracked, things to watch for, and things to avoid in order to make a safety plan for you and your family!
