PENOBSCOT MARINE MUSEUM • AUGUST 14, 2008
Auction PENOBSCOT MARINE MUSEUM • AUGUST 14, 2008 All proceeds from the gala support the museum’s many exhibits and educational initiatives which benefit thousands of school children and the general public each year. 110. “Grange Supper – Port Clyde” by Brian White. WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS AUCTION 2008 Dear Friends, Welcome to the Penobscot Marine Museum Dinner and Auction Gala. This biennial event makes possible so many of the museum’s amazing programs, including a three-day family boat building project which will begin the day after the auction in the very same tent that provides cover for the gala. The Penobscot Marine Museum’s mission is to preserve and present the maritime culture of the Penobscot Bay region and beyond through education, collections and community engagement. If you have not already done so, before the summer ends, be sure to check out our current special exhibits. This year, we are one of 11 museums on the Maine folk art trail. Our show, “Finest Kind,” includes decorative works such as shadow box models, paintings and ships in bottles, as well as functional art such as tools, rugs, decoys, rope work and containers. To quote our curator, Ben Fuller, “these were the practical products of a lean culture where the created object had to have a purpose, but also could include an embedded cultural aesthetic.” You may want to sign up for one of our special workshops on folk arts, which include spinning, scrimshaw, woodworking and rug hooking. Programming such as this would not be possible without your help at this gala. This museum is fortunate to have such a wonderful group of supporters who through their generous donations and volunteer efforts have worked hard to make our gala a success. We are especially grateful to the many individuals and businesses that donated auction items and financial support. A very special thanks to our volunteers and others who worked hard to make this evening so special for all our guests. In particular, we would like to acknowledge: Andrews Ale, Dorothy Alling, John and Sarah Ames, Nedra Bellows, Julie and Charlie Cawley, Kim Fleming, Stacey Glassman of Swans Way Catering, Seth Thayer, Johanna Tutone and Cappy’s, Kaja Veilleux of Thomaston Place Auctions, Chris Worth and Karen Zimmermann of Z Studios for their extraordinary efforts. We also are most grateful to our lead sponsor, Bangor Savings Bank, and associate sponsors, WoodenBoat Magazine and Hamilton Marine, as well as the many advertisers who bought ads in the catalogue.

Kinsella Mary R. Saltonstall 1 A TRIBUTE TO JON WILSON When Jonathan Wilson launched WoodenBoat Magazine in 1974 he gave voice to boat builders and enthusiasts, reigniting interest in boats built of wood, and by extension, maritime history and culture. Jon was building and repairing boats in the early 1970s, and he was hungry for lesson material on the topic – that thirst for knowledge was the impetus behind WoodenBoat. His vision was to advance the art and science of wooden boat building at a time when fiberglass-boat construction was eclipsing it, and to preserve the traditions of the craft. The first issue came together in his cabin in the woods of Brooksville. There was no electricity, no running water, and no on-site telephone – the nearest phone was fastened to a tree a half-mile away. The new magazine was an immediate hit, and its circulation grew by an average of ten thousand readers per year for its first ten years. The first issue included articles for amateurs and for professionals alike, book reviews, and a forum where boat builders could exchange ideas. Within a few years the magazine moved to a larger building in Brooksville, and later suffered a nearly fatal fire. But out of those ashes came a move to nearby Brooklin and, ultimately, to the company’s current home on a 65-acre waterfront estate with boat-building shops, a pier, and a boathouse – all built from bricks and stone by an owner with a mortal fear of fire. This new space gave Jon the room he needed to add a hands-on component, a place where readers could come to handle wood and learn the concepts presented in the magazine. WoodenBoat School started in 1981, offering mostly one-week courses on a wide array of topics all related to wooden boats. WoodenBoat Publications has grown in many directions since 1974. In addition to WoodenBoat magazine, today the company has a thriving store that sells books, tools, back issues, and clothing; a WoodenBoat Show that attracts 10,000 to 15,000 visitors per year; and a trade magazine called Professional Boatbuilder that does for the mainstream boatbuilding industry what WoodenBoat magazine does for wood. It also sponsors a trade show called the International Boatbuilders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), which attracts the best minds in contemporary design and construction.

In 1994 he founded Hope, a magazine devoted to social change. Hope never gained the readership to break even financially and ceased publication after eight years. But through this venture, Jon became interested in the concept of mediating conversations between violent criminal offenders and their victims. He trained in victim-offender dialogue techniques, and became a trainer himself. He also established a nonprofit organization called Just Alternatives, whose mission is to bridge the gap between victims and offenders. WoodenBoat magazine helped to change the way the world sees wooden boats. It inspires reverence, gives a voice to skilled artisans, and gives knowledge to those still learning. While the magazine serves a global audience, it remains based in the Penobscot Bay region of Maine. Thank you, Jon, for all you have done to promote Maine and its rich maritime culture – and for keeping one of the state’s signature industries alive and thriving. 3 Executive Director Niles Parker BOARD OF TRUSTEES Officers Mary R.
