Audiobooks

At Wisdom Harbour, when a “classic” is recorded, certain old English words are replaced by their modern equivalent. The meaning of every paragraph in every story remains the same. The book is, however, delivered to the listener in an understandable way. So…sit back, close your eyes, and listen with your imagination!



I Was There...

Most of us just read about history. On this dock, however, the people featured were a part of history. Now, you can experience some of the 20th century’s most significant events from the vivid memories of those who were actually present. They will tell you the stories that the text books left out. And they will remind you…”I was there.”



Images

Welcome to Images—a curated collection of visual storytelling where past and present meet the power of perspective. From stunning wildlife photography and breathtaking landscapes to whimsical illustrations of “the future” from decades gone by, each image invites you to pause and look a little closer. Whether it’s a captured moment in the wild or a forgotten dream from yesterday’s imagination, every piece here tells a story worth seeing—and remembering.



In Other Words

This dock features short videos that are used to expose the meaning in a wordy piece of literature or history we still recognize, but have honestly never understood. A part of the original piece is “performed.” Then, those words are delivered in today’s language and explained…with a few smart remarks added for good measure!


