Join Penobscot Marine Museum Curatorial Staff for live lunchtime Zoom presentations. Rotating between Curator Cipperly Good, Photo Archivist Kevin Johnson, and Digital Collections Curator Matt Wheeler, each week a different staff member will focus on one of their favorite artifacts or collections. Enjoy close up views and interesting stories, plus an opportunity to ask your own questions and chat with PMM staff!

On this Monday, Curator Cipperly Good will talk about Florence Colcord, who grew up at sea in the waning days of merchant sail. Before her death in 1978, she donated her father’s navigational and personal gear. Florence’s mother was a tailor, who used her practiced eye to choose clothing from China and the Philippines. Tune in to learn more about Florence and her family.
