The Mattapoisett Museum at 5 Church Street is pleased to announce its Annual Meeting on Thursday, April 25 at 6:00 pm. After a short business meeting, Curator Connor E. Gaudet will regale the audience with the history of the iconic bark, Wanderer, since it was shipwrecked on the rocks of Cuttyhunk Island.
This presentation is a “teaser” to prepare the public for the launch of this summer’s celebratory exhibit of the 100th anniversary since the Wanderer’s shipwreck, “Wanderer 100: The Afterlife & Legacy of Mattapoisett’s Last Whaler. It explores why the Wanderer has been honored, celebrated and venerated through the years and asks the questions, “Why is the Wanderer iconic?” and “Why do we love her so?”
This talk at the Annual Meeting is open to all, but only Mattapoisett Museum Members will be asked to vote on new Board Members and changes in bylaws. Self-serve refreshments will be available.
