During our next outdoor lecture, Two Centuries of Maine Shipbuilding, learn about Maine’s shipbuilding past with Nathan Lipfert. Held at sunset, these lectures take place in the shadow of an 18th-century house! As long as wooden shipbuilding was the state of the art, Maine shipyards built more ships, and more tons of ships, than any other state. Every coastal community participated in this industry. Maine continues as an important shipbuilding region into the present. It provides well-paid skilled employment to thousands of people. They build vessels of wood, metal, and composite materials, which have an impact felt around the world. Nathan Lipfert will discuss the history of Maine shipyards and shipbuilders and the vessels they built, concentrating on the 200 years since statehood. His presentation will be based on his research for his recent book, Two Centuries of Maine Shipbuilding: A Visual History.
