Risky maritime trade focus of exhibit
CASTINE The Castine Historical Society has an exciting array of exhibits and programs scheduled for 2021.
After being physically closed for a year because of COVID-19, the society will open June 11. The featured exhibit will be “Risky Business: Square-Rigged Ships and Salted Fish.”
Back for a second and final year, the exhibit invites visitors to step back in time to the 1800s when Castine’s working waterfront thrived on a global market. The fascinating exhibit brings Castine’s maritime economy to life through paintings, objects, and documents.
“Risky Business” and all other exhibits are free and will be on display from June 11 to Oct. 11 in the society’s Abbott School exhibit gallery. Open hours are Friday-Saturday, and Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Face coverings are encouraged inside the building.
