Opening
Reception: For
Those In Peril: Shipwrecks, Memorials, and Rescues
Join us
for an opening party to celebrate Penobscot Marine Museum’s 2013
season, and our exhibit: For
Those In Peril. This
exhibit explores the shipwrecks and near misses; the perfect storms
and sudden squalls; those lost at sea and the families left behind;
and the brave lifesavers and brilliant marine equipment innovators.
Through the Museum’s collection of marine art, portraits,
photographs, lifesaving equipment, original manuscripts and logbooks,
small watercraft, models, and navigational instruments, the stories
of “those in peril” will come alive in the summer of 2013.
Admission
Free. At PMM’s Museum Gallery, 40 East Main Street, Searsport.
