SUMMARY:Walking Tours - The Feds\, The Greeks\, and Those Delightful Victorians: A Searsport Architecture Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:What does the way a building looks say about when it was built\, how it was used\, and what people at that time thought was stylish? This tour uses buildings on the Penobscot Marine Museum campus to examine local architecture and the growth of the town of Searsport. Residents in the early 1800s chose Greek Revival and Federal architectural elements while the Victorians in the later 19th century embraced the Italianate style. Enjoy some local history as well as learning more about architectural elements that you will see here and can also be found throughout the Maine Coast and beyond. \nOur talented tour guides will lead you around our beautiful campus\, sharing fascinating stories and also allowing you time to visit several exhibits. Registration is encouraged. Click here to see available slots. \nRain or shine.

No-shows will be charged the full rate. \nTours at 5pm\, 6pm\, 7pm. Click here to see available times and to register \n$8/person if you pre-register\, $10/person at the door \nPhoto: PMM’s Merithew House was built circa 1826. The transitional style between Federal and Greek Revival architectural designs emphasizes size\, symmetry and proportion\, rather than ornamentation\, as hallmarks of its classical influences.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Pim Van Hemmen Discusses In Extremis | Historic Ships in America
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with his photography exhibit\, In Extremis: Historic Ships in America\, photographer Pim Van Hemmen will give an illustrated talk. His photographs\, printed very large on aluminum\, are stunning to say the least. They provide the viewer with the sense of scale and age of these ocean faring vessels. Each of the ships depicted have a story to tell and Van Hemmen has been on a quest to tell those stories through his photographs before the vessels head to the scrap yard or sink at their moorings. The photographs are not casual snapshots but rather meticulously thought through and planned. In his talk\, he will discuss his process which involves research\, planning\, permissions and of course timing as well as sharing more of his photographs and the stories that go with them. In Extremis has been generously sponsored by Sprague Energy. \nRegistration is required. Register here. If attending in person\, the talk will be held in the PMM Old Vestry located at 2 Church Street. \nPhoto: NS SAVANNAH\, the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship built as a showcase for President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” initiative\, Baltimore\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:Opening Day Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the opening of a new season! During the event both our Main Street Gallery and our Old Vestry building will be open so you can check out two of our 2023 exhibits\, Working the Sea and In Extremis: Historic Ships in America. \nWorking the Sea features photographs from the museum’s National Fisherman and Atlantic Fishermen collections inspired by an upcoming photo book by long-time National Fisherman contributor Michael Crowley. This exhibit will run the duration of the 2023 season. Working the Sea has been generously sponsored by Diversified Communications. \nIn Extremis is photographer Pim Van Hemmen’s ongoing project to document America’s historic ships. Upon moving to the United States from the Netherlands\, Van Hemmen noted that relatively little attention is paid to our country’s maritime past and its historic vessels. In response\, he set out to create a visual record of this maritime past. The exhibit takes its name from the In Extremis doctrine\, which allows ship operators to take extreme measures to avoid imminent danger. The exhibit will run through August 5th\, with an illustrated talk by Van Hemmen on June 15th. In Extremis has been generously sponsored by Sprague Energy. \nPhoto: A dipnet full of scup\, or porgies\, rests on the trap boat gunwale as Tony Coccoro repeats the endless task of repairing tears in the weir net. Photograph by Milson Moore\, National Fisherman Collection\, LB2012.15.33.

SUMMARY:Maine’s First Ship
DESCRIPTION:October 21st\, 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, suggested admission $5\nReserve your tickets here. \nThe VIRGINIA was the first ocean-going vessel built by the English in North America. In 1607 King James I granted a land-use charter to the Virginia Company to establish permanent settlements in the New World. The Company offered two investment opportunities – one based in London and the other in Plymouth. The London-based company founded a colony which they called Jamestown\, in land we now call Virginia. The Plymouth-based company attempted a settlement at the mouth of the Kennebec River in what has become known as the Popham Colony. The settlers were unprepared for the harshness of the Maine winter and\, after 14 months\, gave up their colonial effort. During that period\, however\, the colonists constructed a “30 tonne” vessel with which they intended to explore the coastline of the New World for profitable resources for their investors. They named their ship VIRGINIA OF SAGADAHOC and\, when the settlement was abandoned in the summer of 1608\, the colonists sailed her back to England.  \nFor the past ten years volunteers in Bath\, Maine\, have been working with Maine’s First Ship to re-construct the VIRGINIA. In this program\, Jim Parmentier will share more about this incredible project. You can follow their work at the MFS website www.mfship.org.

SUMMARY:Hemp and American Maritime History
DESCRIPTION:October 14th\, 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, suggested admission $5\nReserve your tickets here. \nHemp has played a vital role in our history\, including maritime history. It was a part of daily life until the mid-20th century. This session will explore the history of Cannabis Sativa as an agricultural and industrial product\, as well as understanding the difference in the types of cannabis such as marijuana. \nPeter Friesen received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from New Mexico State University\, focusing on History with a minor in Anthropology. He went on to receive his master’s degree in public history in 2006. During his senior year at NMSU Peter decided to focus on a career in living history. He took an internship at Valley Forge National Historic Park\, where he interpreted in 3 rd person\, did black powder demonstrations\, helped the archaeologists dig\, and manned the visitor center desk. After graduating\, Peter decided to attend graduate school and focus on public history. While there he took part in a class called Time Traveling where he learned about first person interpretation. His degree plan included a research paper of journal length and quality and several hours interning at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival assisting the supply coordinator. His research paper titled Hemp\, History and Museums\, looked at how marijuana laws have affected public perception of hemp and how it is interpreted in living history museums. This led Peter to Colonial Williamsburg where he worked for two years finishing his research and completing a master’s degree. During this time\, he started to look for a living history museum that also incorporated agriculture\, which is how he came to be at HSMC. After his first year at HSMC\, he received the New Professional Travel Award for the National Council of Public History’s annual conference in Louisville\, KY where he presented his research on Hemp and Museums. Peter has continued his agricultural research to include tobacco\, apples\, livestock\, and other aspects of colonial farming life. Peter is also active in the larger museum profession. He has presented at several conferences and is currently on the board of directors for both the Association of Living History Farm and Agricultural museums and the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum. Peter also serves on the museum studies steering committee at St. Mary’s College of Maryland as well as teaching museum studies.
