11月11日，我决定使我们美丽的傀儡成为本月的文物。选择一个人相当困难，因为他们的方式都很精彩，但最终我选择了加拉塔的那个。
I’ve found that, like Galatea here, a lot of figureheads get their names from mythology. There are two myths that go along with Galatea, the first stating that she was a beautiful sea goddess/nymph who was in love with a man named Akis. The cyclops Polyphemus was in love with Galatea and jealous of the young Akis, crushed him beneath a rock. In her grief, Galatea turned Akis into a stream.
As I continue to comb through and photograph our print/poster collection, I am constantly finding pieces that depict incredibly interesting bits of history. In most cases, bits I never even knew existed, which spurs me to research and learn more. One print I found earlier this week shows the steamship伟大的东部(1858-1888) on a sandbar covered in advertisements for all kinds of activities available on board, including horse races, a concert and the Swiss Giantess. It’s quite amazing to look at and so I decided to make it the artifact of the month for October.
And if you look closely at the print, you can see that there are a massive amount of people on the ship with tons more trying to board. When I find something like this I just have to know more and understand the purpose behind it.
一对职位前我提到我们有一艘新的船来了。好吧，它在这里，我决定将其作为八月份的月份。她是一位名叫Lamu的肯尼亚Dhow。
Lamu于肯尼亚拉穆岛一路从华盛顿特区带到华盛顿特区。上面的照片显示了她在DC的全国商场，在她身后的国家自然历史博物馆。她是由阿里阿卜杜拉斯斯基兰达带来的，其父亲在10年前建造了她。在节日，Skanda和一名助理，Aly Baba，致力于修复她并完成绘画和木雕。Skanda认识到Dhows不像他们曾经（随着机动船的发展），所以致力于继续奉承Dhow建筑（从世代发电）并保留他的文化。
July’s artifact of the month is a print showcasing different designs of Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, well known bank note engravers
The company originally started with Freeman Rawdon, who established it sometime after 1825. In 1828 he partnered with Neziah Wright, establishing Rawdon, Wright & Co. in New York City. Prior to this, Freeman’s older brother, Ralph Rawdon, had formed Rawdon, Clark & Co. with Asahel Clark. The two Rawdon brothers then merged their companies in 1832 to create Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Company. In 1847, Tracy Edson’s name was added and they became Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson.
Our artifact of the month for June comes from our International Small Craft Center exhibition and is a bull boat, ca 1939.
牛船（或有时野牛船）被命名为覆盖框架的材料。传统上，妇女是那些建造和使用这些船只进行密苏里河及其支流之间的村庄之间的运输和沟通的人。然后使用小桨叶在所需的方向上划桨，如下照片所示。
