Tall Ships and Tacoma history buffs might want to catch a couple of events next week.

On Monday, June 9, maritime historian Chuck Fowler will give a talk on his book "Tall Ships On Puget Sound," a pictorial history of ships in the region. The free presentation at the Tacoma Historical Society meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the Carnegie Building at the Tacoma Public Library, 1102 Tacoma Ave. South.

Fowler is also featured next Saturday, June 14, at a Washington State History Museum event: "Ships, Sailors, and Sounds of the Sea — Celebrating Washington's Maritime History." The event also features Deb Lund, author of the children's book "Dino Sailors" and a performance by Whidbey Island maritime music group The Shifty Sailors. The fun starts at 11 a.m. and is free with museum admission.

For information on other community events check out the Tall Ships Tacoma Web site.
