The Mariners’ Museum Library invites you for a walk into the museum’s past. Please join Jennifer Anielski for a Secrets in the Stacks that will have you saying, “ I remember when …” as we look at photographs of the museum and park from yesteryear. As an added bonus, a few faces of the past may appear as well.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, August 3rd at noon.
| On Tuesday December 7, 2010 the Library welcomed The Mariners’ Museum’s Bronze Door Society and Friends of the Library for “The Unveiling of the Trireme.” The event showcased the Library’s newest addition, a scale model of a Greek trireme built by model maker Mark Wilkins. The highlight of the evening was Dr. John Hyland’s talk on the history of the trireme. Dr. Hyland is Assistant Professor of history at Christopher Newport University.In other trireme-related news, mark your calendars for March 17-18, 2011 when Friends of Trible Library at CNU and Friends of The Mariners’ Museum Library host the “Celebration of the Trireme.” The two day event will include a panel discussion on “The Triremes and Athenian Democracy” and a presentation on “Rowing the Olympias.” Stay tuned for more details! |
