2023 LECTURE SERIES: The Life, Near-Death, and Revival of Wood Island Station
2023 LECTURE SERIES: The Life, Near-Death, and Revival of Wood Island Station
April 19, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Portsmouth Athenaeum, 9 Market Square, Portsmouth, NH 03801, USA
The Athenaeum lecture series, “Portsmouth, NH: Evolution 1623-2023 Part 2,” continues with Proprietor Sam Reid on: The Life, Near-Death, and Revival of Wood Island Station. The Wood Island Life Saving Station sits on a small island next to the Maine/New Hampshire border where the Piscataqua River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Built in 1908 and decommissioned in 1948, it housed the brave men, called “surfmen” or “storm warriors,” who rowed out to save mariners in distress. Hundreds of rescues were performed and hundreds of lives were saved. Lecture is held in the third-floor Shaw Research Library and via Zoom. Each program begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Shaw Research Library of the Portsmouth Athenaeum at 9 Market Square in Portsmouth, NH (unless otherwise noted). Reservations for each program are required as seating is limited. Please call (603) 431-2538 to reserve. If unable to keep a reservation, please call again to release the seat for someone else.
Attendance at programs is free for Athenaeum Proprietors, Subscribers and Friends. Guests and members of the public are welcome to attend the entire series by becoming a Friend of the Athenaeum for as little as $25 per year, payable at the door. Admission to an individual program is $10.
Every presenter in this year's lecture series is a Proprietor of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, suggesting the breadth of knowledge and interest in its dissemination that characterizes Athenaeum members. Each lecturer looks forward to engaging our audience with their knowledge.
