Prior to the development of train, car and air travel, water travel was a crucial means of transporting goods and people and continues to have an important role in leisure, travel and defense. This program traces the development of maritime technology, usage and safety measures through examination of some of the shipwrecks that are part of life for a coastal state like New Jersey.
Shipwrecked! will be presented by Hilary May, Curator of Education at the Museum of Early Trades & Crafts. Located in downtown Madison, METC explores American history with a focus on the life and stories of 18th-and 19th-century craftspeople and artisans. Drawing on its rich collection, METC is connecting the lives of people and their stories, while providing a bridge from the past to the future.
