| Sally Lobkowicz, The Lady in the Red Cloak, will lead a special Famed Captains and Shipbuilders tour aboard a trolley and through the Oak Grove Cemetery to visit the headstones and memorials marking the grave sites of Bath's most historic seafaring captains and shore-based shipbuilders on Wednesday, June 15. The special tour is in cooperation with the Maine Maritime Museum and sponsored by Cahill Tire. |
The Famed Captains and Shipbuilders tour begins at Maine Maritime Museum, where participants will board a trolley that will take them past grand homes where Bath's leading families once resided. The journey ends at Oak Grove Cemetery, where guests will be guided through the lush grounds by Sally Lobkowicz, The Lady in the Red Cloak from Red Cloak Haunted History Tours. Participants will visit the headstones and memorials marking the grave sites of Bath's most historic seafaring captains and shore-based shipbuilders.
Tales of perseverance and pluck will be told in relating the daring adventures of area seafarers, and the initiative and ingenuity shown by the shipbuilders who built the ocean-going vessels that brought Bath much of its early wealth.
The stories won't be limited to the masculine side of seafaring and shipbuilding. Women, often in leadership roles, were important participants in the nautical history of Bath, and their stories will be told as well, while guests visit their burial plots.
This special Famed Captains and Shipbuilders tour will be the only opportunity for the public to enjoy this tour until much later in the season, when the next tours are scheduled for October 12, 22 and 29. Seating is limited, and the tour has been popular in the past, so early reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made by telephoning 207-443-1316 or online by visiting mainemaritimemuseum.org and clicking on the Events tab, then using the menu to go to Special Events section.
The Famed Captains and Shipbuilders tour is sponsored by Cahill Tire, generously allowing the proceeds to benefit the efforts and activities of the Maine Maritime Museum.
