The Swampscott Yacht Club is launching a community lecture series called “Fish Tales from the Fish House.’’
Richard Patch, a longtime fisherman who has been lobstering from Swampscott for 40 years, presents the inaugural talk and video on Wednesday evening.
“There are many colorful stories to be told about Swampscott’s past and present, and we thought Richard was a perfect choice to start off what we hope will be a new community lecture tradition in Swampscott,’’ said Steve Speranza, rear commodore of the yacht club. “Gloucester may have ‘Wicked Tuna’ but Swampscott has its own lobster tales.’’
The aim of the lecture series is to share the richness of community life and the history of coastal Swampscott, as well as introduce community members to the Fish House.
