Other links with Maine include the archaeological work of Portland native Edward. S. Morse in the 1870s and the wreck of a Bath-built ship off the northwest coast of Aomori in 1889. Nearby villagers rescued four of the seamen and buried the rest of the 23-man crew. They observed a memorial to the dead seamen every year thereafter. However, the museum will be closed December 24 and 25 and January 1.
Admission is free.
