Our Sailboat's Head Has A History
A #shorts video where we explore how crews on board sailing vessels during the Age of Sail used the bathroom, while we tackle some much needed sailboat renovations on our 'head'. Pull up your 'seat of ease' and let's explore this fascinating history that'll make you appreciate your modern throne.

We’re Lauren and Alex, the creators behind Blue Lobster Tales. And we’re here to bring history to life! Blue Lobster, our sailboat and namesake, is how we will explore long-forgotten people, places and things. And we’ll bring you this history in creative ways – filming every step of the way. Our goal is to bridge the gap between academics and fast history, to engage in accessible, in-depth, analytical history. Over the next few years, we will sail Atlantic Canada (learning along the way), exploring this region through the lens of the Age of Sail, a period very much neglected. So, come along for the ride!
Follow us on our journey to explore the history of the Atlantic world, one nautical mile at a time...
