Ripped from the Headlines: Tales of Life on the Bay & Summer People (recorded version)

For those that live here and for those that visit, daily life on Penobscot Bay is unique. Over the years, newspaper articles have recorded some of the ups and downs. The following portrayals by Penobscot Marine Museum staff and volunteers are based on true stories in newspaper accounts. These are recorded from the in-person event on June 29th, 2023. Take a deep dive into the sea-goers life with us as we travel through time and celebrate our community both past and present!
