Captains and Shipbuilders Tour ends at Oak Grove Cemetery
A visit to the final resting places of historic Bath area sea captains and shipbuilders will be the focus of a trolley tour hosted by Maine Maritime Museum (MMM) and led by The Lady in the Red Cloak on Wednesday, June 15.
The Famed Captains and Shipbuilders tour begins at the museum where participants will board a trolley that will take them past grand homes where Bath's leading families once resided. The journey ends at Oak Grove Cemetery, where guests will be guided through the lush grounds by Sally Lobkowicz, The Lady in the Red Cloak, from Red Cloak Haunted History Tours. Participants will visit the headstones and memorials marking the grave sites of Bath's most historic seafaring captains and shore-based shipbuilders.
Tales of perseverance and pluck will be told in relating the daring adventures of area seafarers, and the initiative and ingenuity shown by the shipbuilders who built the ocean-going vessels that brought Bath much of its early wealth. Women, often in leadership roles, were important participants in the nautical history of Bath, and their stories will be told as well, while guests visit their burial plots.
Seating is limited, and the tour has been popular in the past, so early reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made by telephoning 207-443-1316 or online by visiting special events at mainemaritimemuseum.org.
