This summer, acclaimed actor Jeffrey Paul Whitman brings that adventure back to life at Hyde Street Pier with a captivating, one-man performance aboard the 1886 sailing ship Balclutha. Whitman takes Dana from greenhorn to experienced sailor, and transports the audience back to the days when all a young man needed for adventure was a steady ship and a star to steer her by.
