| Testimonials |
| "Colin Woodard's talks on the history of Maine and its people are just as vibrant, entertaining, and painlessly informative as is his book, The Lobster Coast. His lively and knowledgeable presentations are always compelling, as is clear from the enthusiastic responses of the overflow crowds who turn out every time he gives a talk." - Doreen Dun, President Boothbay Region Historical Society, Me. |
| "Woodard is a very knowledgeable and well researched speaker [who] presents information in a fun and interesting manner without the need of visual aids. He paints a vivid picture of what life was like during the Golden Age of Piracy and brought forth new theories about the pirates’ motives. He managed to make the lecture interesting even to those of us who believe ourselves to be pirate experts. I would jump at the chance to have him speak at The Mariners’ Museum again." - Beth Kovach, lecture coordinator, Mariner's Museum, Newport News, Va. |
| "Woodard’s recent talk held the room captive with his seemingly endless knowledge of pirate history. This is “Blackbeard country” and he made connections that surprised many in the audience. His rapid fire delivery style worked well with the subject and the audience. " - Nancy Gray, Director, museum services Tryon Palace & Gardens, New Bern, NC |
| "Colin presented a lecture on his book The Republic of Pirates to a large museum crowd and held them spellbound with stories about the ‘real’ pirates of the Caribbean . He adeptly fielded wide-ranging questions and offered primary source anecdotes with humor and acumen. Colin was captivating!" - Trish Balderson, education manager Museums of Colonial Williamsburg,Va. |
