The Center invites the public to bring their fishing industry related photographs, both historic and contemporary, as well as documents such as settlement sheets, union books, or news clippings to be scanned. Staff will scan the materials and record any information the owner shares about each piece. The owner will leave with their originals along with a digital copy of the scans on a flash drive. The Center is working to create a digital archive of these materials which will be made available to researchers and the public. These documents will help us to tell the story of the fishing industry.

New England’s fishermen harvest millions of pounds of seafood each year. Anyone who has fished for any length of time has a story about something unexpected that came up in the net. From bottles, pottery, and tools to bones, fossils and even bombs, remarkable objects are continuously pulled up from the deep.

Visit us on Saturday, March 2 from 1:00pm-4:00pm while a team of maritime archeologists are at the Center examining treasures from the deep.

CALLING ALL FISHERMEN!

Have you found unexpected items in your nets or dredges and don’t know what they are? If so, bring them in and a team of maritime archeologists will be at the Center to examine your artifacts and possibly solve the mystery!

For more information please contact the Center at 508-993-8894 or email programs@fishingheritagecenter.org.

“Irish Songs of the Sea” features Eddie Dillon, Tom Kennedy and Joe Zajac, known for their many years of concerts, festivals and performances at many, many Irish bars. This performance will highlight Irish maritime music. From whalers’ chanteys to contemporary ballads, they are borrowing from their Irish roots to present an exciting evening of song, wit and story.

Eddie Dillon is a singer songwriter, raconteur and guitarist known for his wit and compositions that embrace the acutely sensitive while paying homage to the American catalog of musical comedy.

Tom Kennedy and Joe Zajac have been performing around the Northeast for more than thirty years. Their music encompasses a number of different musical styles including Irish and American folk, bluegrass, country, and old-time rock and roll. Those various musical influences are reflected in the instruments they play: guitar, banjo, mandolin, pennywhistle, and harmonica.
