On Saturday, Oct. 7, Maine Maritime Museum in Bath will open a new exhibit, “Pull Together: Maritime Maine in the 1914-1918 Great War.” The exhibit will be on view through May 6, 2018.
“Pull Together” will examine Maine’s contributions (and losses) of ships, resources, and personnel in the Great War, including Bath-built commercial sailing vessels sunk (or missed) by the German navy, coastal defenses and patrol craft, and the service careers of Maine-born mariners and Maine-built ships of all kinds, from yachts to four-stackers to submarines. Other related topics will include life in wartime Bath as revealed in contemporary newspapers, propaganda, posters, photography, and other original collection sources at Maine Maritime Museum.
