“To Travel by Water: Shipbuilding in Art” with Seth Goldstein, Historian and Director of the Cushing’s Point Museum

Explore Maine’s maritime heritage as seen through works in the PMA collection. Beginning with the birch bark canoe featured in the PMA’s exhibition Passages in American Art—its construction and cultural significance to the Wabanaki people—Goldstein will expand to consider broader traditions of boat and shipbuilding imagery across the galleries.

Seth Goldstein is Director of the Cushing’s Point Museum and Director of Development at the South Portland Historical Society.
