Episode 308 Living on a Barge in Brooklyn with David Sharps
David Sharps is the owner of the Lehigh Valley No. 79 Barge and the president of the Waterfront Museum in Red Hook, Brooklyn. David has lived on the barge since the 1980s when it first docked in Red Hook. The ship itself has a long history that we explore in this episode. It currently serves as a museum, performance space, and David's home. David led a previous life of adventure as a juggler on cruise ships in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Listen in to his tales of a lifetime of living on boats.
