SUMMARY:Member Monday — Digitizing the Chart Collection
DESCRIPTION:Join Cipperly Good for our February Member Monday presentation where we check out the new chart digitization rig. The PMM Collection is full of nautical charts with handwritten notes by navigators about the weather\, events on board\, and the best place to provision. These large charts are difficult to photograph at a high enough resolution to see these notations. Our solution was to build a camera rig that photographs the chart in smaller segments and “stitch” them together with software. We will give you a sneak peek into the process as we get these charts digitized and available on our website. \nMember Mondays are included as a member benefit and feature intimate Zoom lunchtime programs presented by staff members. Beginning in 2024\, Member Monday programs are scheduled January through April with one presentation from each of the following departments: Administration\, Curatorial\, Photo Archives\, and Education. Not a member? Join here. \nPhoto: Cipperly Good\, the Richard Saltonstall Jr. Curator of Maritime History\, directs Matt Wheeler\, the Digital Curator\, to move the camera rig to the next position to capture a segment of a nautical chart.

SUMMARY:Maritime & Maine Topics Author Series—Penny West
DESCRIPTION:Penny West will discuss London Letters Home of an American Apprentice Preparing for the Far East Tea Trade\, Gus Farley\, Jr. (1844-1899).

SUMMARY:Maritime & Maine Topics Author Series—Mark Borton
DESCRIPTION:Author Mark Borton will reveal the full story that is documented in his new book\, Moondoggle: Franklin Roosevelt and the Fight for Tidal-Electric Power at Passamaquoddy Bay. “Quoddy” was to be built off the coast of Maine and New Brunswick and would generate enough electricity to power much of New England. It was part of Roosevelt’s trust-busting “public power” initiatives such as the Boulder Dam and the Tennessee Valley Authority. FDR’s pioneering project was highly controversial and full of intrigue. \nThe Island Institute’s Working Waterfront said Moondoggle: Franklin Roosevelt and the Fight for Tidal-Electric Power at Passamaquoddy Bay (Down East Books\, 2023) is “A fascinating work that goes beyond history to include society\, culture\, politics\, and community… This absorbing story informs us about where Maine is today.” \nFree\, Suggested admission $5\, register here \nPhoto: Mark Borton at Beaver Brook as it falls into Passamaquoddy Bay\, Calais\, Maine.

SUMMARY:Member Monday - Sam Murfitt and Maine’s Working Waterfronts
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Sam Murfitt has spent most of his life connected with the water—while making photographs\, building boats\, and working for fishing publications.

SUMMARY:Fall Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an open house featuring our 2023 photo exhibit\, Sam Murfitt and Maine’s Working Waterfronts and our new permanent exhibit\, Rusticators on the Water. \nPhotographer Sam Murfitt has spent most of his life connected with the water—while making photographs\, building boats\, and working for fishing publications. For decades\, he has photographed fishermen\, their work\, and their boats\, and in that work\, has come to see their way of life as finite and fleeting. His images document that lifestyle and offer a window into Maine’s working waterfronts and boatbuilding traditions. Sam Murfitt and Maine’s Working Waterfronts has been generously sponsored by Hamilton Marine. \nWhen Rusticators flocked to Maine in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries\, they sought a rustic vacation to retreat from their busy city lives. To get on the water\, they commissioned locally-built small wooden boats: rowboats for exploration\, daysailers for picnics\, and racing boats for yacht club competitions. This exhibit showcases the Maine-built boats at the heart of the rusticating culture and explores their enduring impact. Rusticators on the Water has been generously supported by the Margaret E. Burnham Charitable Trust. \nFree and open to the public \nPhoto: Lobstermen pose with their winning lobster boat racing trophies. Photograph by Sam Murfitt.
