Jun 06, 2018 - Sea Cloud
Today the Sea Cloud expedition explored the alleged birthplace of Marco Polo. The morning was reserved for an interesting lecture on the history of Croatia that helped us have a better perspective and understanding of the western Balkans and its recent history.
We anchored in the eastern port and set off for a tour of the historic town center, visiting the four-nave cathedral of St. Mark and its treasury.
Lecturing on expedition ships since 1996 has fueled Robyn’s passion for adventure, discovery, travel, art, and archaeology. These diverse interests have carried her through several degrees, including a B.A. in the History of Art from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario; a B.Sc. in Conservation of Archaeological Materials from University College, Cardiff, Wales; an M.A. in Nautical Archaeology from Texas A&M; and finally a Ph.D. in Archaeology from Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, in 2007.
