In this insightful gallery talk, Catherine Cyr, exhibition coordinator, will discuss the inspiration for and the process of developing the museum's first exhibition comprised solely of women photographers!  As we explore the exhibits dedicated to Emma D. Sewall, Abbie F. Minott, and Josephine Ginn Banks, we will learn more about their importance to both amateur photography and the documentation of maritime history.

Join us at the Maine Maritime Museum and learn to weave a recycled lobster line (rope) doormat with Kerin of Cape Porpoise Trading Company. This workshop will be held outdoors along the beautiful Kennebec River. Turn old lobster line into an eco-friendly, handmade (by you) mat for your home! These rugs are great for indoor or outdoor use. All weaving material is retired line used by Maine lobstermen.
