If you’ve lived at Sewanee—or visited—in the last decade, you might have seen “the Ark” along Breakfield Road. And if you asked someone why there was a large boat sitting in a field on top of a mountain, you might have heard any number of creative and entertaining stories about it. The Santa Catalina de Guale is a trawler built entirely by Tim Keith-Lucas. He started building the boat in August 2000 and completed work on her this winter. Today the Santa Catalina was moved out of Sewanee, beginning her travels toward Florida and Keith-Lucas’s retirement.
The Very Rev. William S. Stafford, dean of The School of Theology, announced the creation of a new position, that of associate dean for recruitment and admissions, and has appointed the Rev. Annwn Myers to fill this position.
