We are back and bringing you more incredible oral histories from around the world in Season Two of /Queer. In our first episode of this season we find ourselves en route to Malta aboard the Götheborg of Sweden- the largest ocean-faring wooden vessel in the world- where gender & sexuality researcher Georgie Williams documents some of the history of 'queer' culture at sea. To understand more of where this exists in the modern age, Georgie interviews Eli Gafvelin; the transgender carpenter who works aboard this unexpectedly progressive ship.
