    BELFAST — Hey there sailor! Got a story to tell? The Penobscot Marine Museum and The Colonial Theatre in Belfast are teaming up to host "Salted Tales: stories from the sea told live."

    This event will take place Sunday, March 29 from 3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. 

    Organizers continue to look for story tellers from the world of the merchant marine, navy, working sailing, or anyone with a really good sea story. The accent is on working sea stories but yachtsmen are invited as well.

    This event is modeled on the "Moth Radio Hour: stories told live" which is heard on the web and public radio. There will be 10 story tellers. Each get exactly eight minutes, no more and no less.

    So far, the line up includes people who have worked on tankers, tugs, freighters, and sailing ships. 

    Refreshments and intermission. Co-sponsored by Penobscot Marine Museum.
