As part of the national celebration honoring the 250th anniversary of America, the Boothbay Region Historical Society is joining with the Windjammers Committee and others to honor the US Navy, created in 1775. This exhibit will highlight the long-standing connection between local shipyards and the Navy. Local BRHS historian Jim Hunt characterized the story as “Iron men in wooden ships.”
Included in the exhibit:
Slideshows sharing museum images of ships under construction, the US Navy Patrol during WWII, and stories about Boothbay-built vessels on active service. There were two Submarine Chasers built in 1917, a fleet of vessels from five shipyards in WWII, and more vessels into the 1950’s for NATO. Artifacts on display include models of key vessels, a special banner awarded by the US Navy to local shipyards for excellence, and photos by US Navy photographer Herb Douglas.
This special exhibit will be available through the year. See our website for information on more programs and museum hours. www.boothbayhistorical.org.
