Good Morning Gloucester

There are so many awesome, creative people out there it’s hard to find a different point of view of the places we have all seen photographed a zillion times. Sometimes it’s getting there during unique weather or lighting, but I’ve learned from some great photog friends that changing your own perspective by getting down low or up high can make a unique photograph as well. This is one of my favorite shots of Eastern Point Light, taken lying flat down on the granite (you might need knee pads for this one!) with my camera flat on the ground shooting into the puddle that was probably no more than a foot wide. So find a puddle from all these rain showers we’ve had and start shooting!

Cape Ann Museum’s Seafaring Women

March 17, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum

Captain Laurel Seaborn, a maritime archaeologist and sailing ship captain, will offer an in-depth look at the brave women who went to sea in the nineteenth century during her illustrated lecture on March 26 at 2:00p.m. at the Cape Ann Museum.

During the 19th century, when women chose to go to sea in sailing ships, they contributed as nurses, nannies and navigators, and in extreme cases took command of the ship. Besides the beds, chairs, and parlor organs that might be found during an archaeological excavation of a shipwreck, their personal possessions such as jewelry, sewing kits and children’s toys would also convey evidence of how the culture on ships changed with a woman’s presence. The investigation of these artifacts, as clues into the lives of these seafaring women, is part of Captain Seaborn’s ongoing PhD research at the University of New Hampshire.

Seaborn has crewed and captained both modern and historic sailing ships, and has worked on archaeological projects doing underwater excavations on such renowned ships as Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge and Captain Kidd’s Cara Merchant.

This program is free for CAM members / $10 for non-members (includes admission). Space is limited; reservations are required.

For more information or to make reservations please call (978) 283-0455 x10 or email info@capeannmuseum.org.
