During a pleasant March weekend in Chicago I visited the 4th annual Maritime festival. A promising event that featured interesting displays, insightful lectures and workshops and of course a great array of international performers. It was an exhausting, but highly entertaining day of festivities and could easily become a major event.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

The festival had a night concert	Drake singing about some bratwurst pirates	We have again our Dutch duo	Actually they're Frisian, the other official language of their nation
Teaching the audience a song about herring	Being joined by their countrymen for a number	Chris and Tom take the stay despite some throat problems	Townley is a very witty man on stage
The Boekaniers take the stage		The grand group finale	Singing the Mermaid...if they have to
