we are unable to plan exactly how we could weave the history of our Victorian polymath with reenactment, empathetic problem solving and other dramatic activities. Joe Hancock is keen for people to be involved rather than to just be an audience.
Our ZOOM presentation is now postponed indefinitely. We may ask Burn the Curtain to propose some of their theatrical ways for our community to celebrate Captain George Peacock. That would be a separate event and video footage of it would be part of our ZOOM.
Many thanks to Judith Greenhough, for her extensive research about Captain Peacock, which will add to the Starcross History Society's ZOOM presentation.
The internet continues to reveal gems, such as this Pin of a diagram of Captain Peacock's Refuge Buoy, from the Bibliotheca Caminos. The Liverpool Maritime Museum has a model of his apparatus to desalinate seawater so that sailors could have a reliable supply of freshwater.
