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.

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.

Jon himself, now 62, has moved on to new topics. 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.
