SUMMARY:Historian Talk: Military Aircraft Wrecks\, Cape Cod
DESCRIPTION:A New England Air Express passenger craft which crashed in the Bahamas\, October\, 1948.\n  \nHistorian Talk: Military Aircraft Wrecks\, Cape Cod\nTuesday\, June 25th\, 2024\, at 4pm \nOVERVIEW \nDid you realize that in New England there are so many aircraft wrecks\, both military and civilian\, that on average there is one every 35 miles of land? That is because historians like Jim Ignasher of New England Aviation History and Larry Webster in Rhode Island have identified close to 2\,000 air accidents\, from losing a wheel to total destruction or missing in the oceans. In Massachusetts there are at least 375 military and 301 civilian airplane mishaps\, with over 150 occurring on Cape Cod or surrounding seas and islands. Falmouth alone has five\, Mashpee 2 (one of them recently found by the speaker)\, and over 40 in Otis Air Force Base or Camp Edwards. This talk will focus on trying to find evidence of the many air wrecks in and near Falmouth\, and the need to learn\, preserve and share the back-stories of the men and women who fell to earth while flying to keep us safe. Last year Eric spent many months finding a dozen and documenting nearly 200 other WWII aircraft in Bahamas. Now he shares his focus on women pilots\, Cold War warriors\, and lone fighter pilots who ditched in the cold Atlantic\, or into ponds and marshes and road near us. \n$20 Non-Member/$10 Members\, or donation based ticket. Light Refreshments Served. \nBIOGRAPHY \nBased in East Boston\, Eric Wiberg moved to New England at age 13 in the 1980s to attend boarding schools in Massachusetts and Rhode Island\, then Boston College. He is from Bahamas\, with US and Swedish passports\, and have lived in Asia\, Europe\, the US\, South Pacific and Caribbean in the course of working on over 150 yachts and traveling a million miles. Following degrees or certificates in law\, marine policy and film\, Eric has completed over 45 books\, published 18 and 1\,000 articles\, and has given nearly 100 presentations internationally and on film & TV. His main focus is discovering and describing maritime mishap and airplane wrecks. The father of a teen son\, he is a tutor who returns to Mashpee to see loved ones and has written at Cuttyhunk. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:A Breeze from the Past: Uncovering climate clues from whaling ship logbooks
DESCRIPTION:       \nPhoto Credit: Susan Sholi (WHOI); Jayne Doucette (WHOI)\nA Breeze from the Past: Uncovering climate clues from whaling ship logbooks \nCaroline C. Ummenhofer1 and Timothy D. Walker1\,2 \n1Department of Physical Oceanography\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, Woods Hole\, MA\, USA; \n2Department of History\, University of Massachusetts\, Dartmouth\, MA\, USA \nBringing together oceanographer Dr. Caroline Ummenhofer from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Dr. Timothy Walker\, Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth\, our project examines the use of weather recordings contained in American whaling voyage logbooks to assess changes in climate and weather patterns. We focus on unexploited caches of archival documentation\, namely U.S. whaling logbooks of voyages spanning the period 1790 to 1910 from New England archives housed by the New Bedford Whaling Museum\, Nantucket Historical Association\, and Providence Public Library. The logbooks\, often covering multi-year voyages around the globe\, contain systematic daily weather observations (e.g.\, wind strength/direction\, sea state\, precipitation). \nIn historical climate research\, long datasets are invaluable for establishing baseline weather and climate conditions\, against which changes can be assessed. Yet pre-19th century instrumental data are sparse\, especially over the ocean. We showcase how descriptive\, qualitative weather recordings from New England whaling ship logbooks can be transferred to quantitative data to compare against modern\, instrumental data. We also highlight how we can then use the novel data to assess long-term shifts in wind patterns around the world\, such as long-term shifts in position and strength of the Southern Hemisphere westerlies\, variations in the North Atlantic subtropical winds surrounding the Bermuda (or Azores) High pressure system\, or strengthening of the Pacific equatorial trade winds since the 19th century. Our results demonstrate that the historical records provide an important long-term context for changing maritime wind patterns in remote ocean regions lacking observational records during the 19th century. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Members; or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. Ticket sales go towards supporting our Nautical Narrative Initiative to use our historic whaling logs to trace historic weather patterns. \nRegister Here\nBiographies: \nDr. Caroline Ummenhofer received a Joint Honours B.Sc. in Marine Biology and Physical Oceanography from Bangor University\, UK\, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of New South Wales\, Australia\, specializing in climate modeling. In 2012\, she took up a faculty position in the Physical Oceanography Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, USA\, following postdoctoral appointments in Australia. Her research focuses on the ocean’s role in climate\, particularly on the water cycle and extreme events\, such as droughts and floods\, and their impact on human and natural systems\, including marine heatwaves. Her applied research bridges the gap between ocean and climate dynamics and its impacts on end users. As such\, she aims to provide practical outcomes of use to stakeholders and the broader public. She has participated in showcasing scientific findings through art-science collaborations at museum exhibits about marine heatwaves and the oceanic water cycle\, and provided educational resources on extreme weather for K-12 schools serving students around the world. \nDr. Timothy Walker\, Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth\, is a scholar of maritime history\, colonial overseas expansion\, and trans-oceanic slave trading.  Walker is a Guest Investigator of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, drawing historic climate data from archived whaling logbooks\, Portuguese colonial\, and other maritime documentation. Walker is a contributing faculty member of the Munson Institute of Maritime Studies\, and Director of the NEH “Landmarks in American History” workshops series\, titled “Sailing to Freedom: New Bedford and the Underground Railroad” (2011–2022).  In 2020\, Walker was appointed by the Governor of Massachusetts to serve on the Schooner Ernestina/Morrissey Advisory Board\, where he is the chair of the Educational Programming Committee.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening of From Cape Cod to Normandy: Falmouth's Role in WWII's D-Day Invasion
DESCRIPTION:From Cape Cod to Normandy: Falmouth’s Role in World War II’s D-Day Invasion \nThe Falmouth Historical Society\, in collaboration with the Cape Cod Military Museum\, is honored to present a compelling new exhibition that explores Falmouth’s vital role in the historic D-Day invasion during World War II. The show opens Thursday\, June 6th\, 2024\, and runs until May 10th\, 2025. \nWith America being violently thrust into WWII\, there was a palatable fear gripping America\, especially on the East Coast where Nazi U-boats were wreaking havoc on Allied shipping. \nThe exhibition unfolds against this historical setting\, shedding light on the critical training that occurred in Falmouth in preparation for the monumental D-Day invasion on June 6\, 1944\, Normandy\, France. Key aspects of this exhibition include the amphibious training and innovations at Washburn Island\, the heroic efforts of Woods Hole Coast Guard Cutters in the Rescue Flotilla\, and the significant role played by the Ranger training that led to the greatest feat of arms in WWII\, Rudder’s Rangers capturing Pointe Du Hoc. \nA central figure in Falmouth’s contributions to D-Day was Ralph Ingersoll\, a pro-war Newspaper publisher by trade\, he volunteered to be stationed at Camp Edwards. Ingersoll\, with strategic foresight\, developed a plan to trick the Germans that the main attack was to be elsewhere with what has become known as the Phantom Army. They used inflatable rubber tanks\, planes and landing craft along with fake unit patches and radio traffic to fool the enemy. Without this trickery D-Day could have ended in failure. \nEven the Martha’s Vineyard Ferry the Naushon got into the act. She became the H.M.S. Naushon a British Hospital Ship treating the wounded and ferrying them to England for more treatment. \nThe exhibition concludes with a poignant reflection on the Falmouth Homefront during this eventful day and tells the tales of Falmouth natives that participated in the most important date in history. \nSponsored by: Thank you to Oak Grove Cemetery of Falmouth\, Inc.\, The Falmouth Raw Bar\, and The Wharf Restaurant for becoming sponsors of the From Cape Cod to Normandy exhibition! \nFree\, please register online: \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Whaling in New England
DESCRIPTION:Whaling in New England \nThursday\, May 9th\, 4pm \nMany different forms of whaling have been used in Cape Cod. Drift\, shore\, herding\, and artic whaling have all been practiced at one time or another. Each specific form of whaling has a small history connected to it. In the early 1800s whaling was among the most profitable enterprises in United States\, second only to textiles. It remained strong for six decades. The reason why whale products are so valuable as well as the rationale as to why the whaling center moved from first from Nantucket\, then to Wellfleet\, then to New Bedford and eventually to Provincetown will be told. Retelling the storied lives of several successful Cape Cod whaling captains make the session come alive. \n$20 Non-Member/$10 Members; or donation based ticket. Light Refreshments Served. \nRegister Here\nShort Biography of Dr. Michael Pregot \nDr. Pregot has spent over a half of a century in the field of education. He has served as a Modern Language teacher\, a high school principal\, a district-wide school superintendent\, a professor of education and a University Director of an Educational Leadership Department. He has published several articles and a textbook on the dispositions needed to be an efficient school official. He has lived on the Cape for several years with his wife\, Judith.  He is still an on-line professor and author. The maritime history of the Cape has caught his attention for the past few years.  He is currently studying the complexity slave trading and abolitionism in Cape Cod.

SUMMARY:Free Talk by Author Christie Palmer Lowrance\, “Thornton W. Burgess: An Extraordinary Naturalist\, Children’s Author\, and Cape Codder”
DESCRIPTION:Author Christie Palmer Lowrance will present a talk on: “Thornton W. Burgess: An Extraordinary Naturalist\, Children’s Author\, and Cape Codder”\nWednesday\, April 10th at 2pm \n“In the realm of wildlife conservation and natural history\, there is one name in the United States that must not be forgotten: Thornton W. Burgess\,” wrote Dr. Theodore H. Reed\, Smithsonian Institution’s National Zoological Park director.   \nFrom a Cape Cod childhood to work as a journalist\, then a beloved children’s author and wildlife advocate in Springfield and Hampden\,  Massachusetts\, Thornton Burgess’ career as an internationally loved story-teller\, a respected naturalist\, and pioneer in environmental education and radio programming for children was ground-breaking. Christie Palmer Lowrance\, author of Nature’s Ambassador: The Legacy of Thornton W. Burgess\, will describe highlights of his career\, including his great friendship with “animal whisperer” Alice Conant Cook\, whose Conant relatives lived in the headquarters of Falmouth Historical Society. Ms. Lowrance will read excerpts from Aunt Sally’s Friends in Fur\, his fond literary tribute to Cook\, as well as show slides of her famous Woodshed Night Club.” \nTalk is free thanks to the generosity of the Ellis Family in memory of Robert Conant Ellis (1931-2023) and Susan Yeager Tow (1936-2019)\, grandson and granddaughter of William and Margaret Conant. \nBIO \nChristie Palmer Lowrance has passionately pursued a lifelong career as a writer/editor\, journalist\, biographer\, and writing instructor. She has written extensively about Cape Cod’s historical\, artistic\, literary\, and commercial life\, and taught writing at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and Cape Cod Community College. Ms. Lowrance is the author of Nature’s Ambassador: The Legacy of Thornton W. Burgess published by Schiffer Publishing. Her children’s book The Last Heath Hen\, illustrated by artist Mike Berndt\, will be released early this summer. A biography\, Ships and Shards\, on Dr. George F. Bass\, known as the father of underwater archaeology\, is a work-in-progress. \nMs. Lowrance has a B.A. from William Smith College and an M.A. from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. She taught writing at the University of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Community College. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:A Woman’s World: We’ve Come a Long Way\, Baby! Lecture by Tamsen George
DESCRIPTION:A Woman’s World: We’ve Come a Long Way\, Baby! \nTuesday\, March 26\, 2024 at 4pm \nIn an 18th century American family\, men were responsible for its support through their work; farming\, fishing\, trading or skilled labor. Women also had their assigned place and role in the household determined for the “fair sex” by custom and laws. \nBut questions arise. Circumstances change. Children are born. Deaths occur. A father\, brother or husband might not be available when a woman must make decisions. How imperative was it to have male supervision or accompaniment in business matters? \nJoin Tamsen George in peering into the eighteenth-century world of women. We recite\, “A man’s work is sun to sun\, a woman’s work is never done. . .” but is that true? \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Members; or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served \nTamsen George’s book will also be for sale during the event – Allegiance: The Life and Times of William Eustis\, published in 2022\, has an international award in US history. It celebrates a relatively unknown doctor who knew all the standard and limited list of “founders.” Without him and others in that second row capacity\, they could not have managed our revolution and solution as well as they did. The book is a biography and goes into all the adventures and people he knew here and abroad. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Life Rings: A Special Movie Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nhttps://museumsonthegreen.org/wp-content/uploads/Life-Rings-Full-2-Minute-Trailer-Landscape.mp4\nLife Rings: A Special Movie Event \nTuesday\, February 6th at 4pm \nThis is a joint event with the Falmouth Historical Society and Protect our Past. Why Protect Our Past produced the film “Life Rings:” It’s an eco-preservation wake-up call! \nThe “life” giving rings visible in the cross section of a tree disclose its age and reveal its durability.  Trees originally used to build houses on Cape Cod had very tight rings\, thanks to their slow rate of growth.  Consequently\, wood from these trees is far more resistant to moisture and insect damage. This resilience of old growth wood continues to stand the test of time leaving many houses on Cape Cod built 200+ years ago still in functional condition.  Today’s new fast growth wood does not. Their rings are much wider apart making this material subject to rot and insect damage.  This reality is putting new builds at risk\, making their useful life as short as 25 years or less.  With the trend toward demolition and new builds continuing\, what will the Cape look like in 30 plus years? \nAnd there’s more… watch and see why restoration is the greener path. Recycle\, Reuse and Retrofit! \n$20 Non-Members/Members Free \nIn honor of Valentine’s Day we will have a curated selection of beverages and chocolate. \nRegister Here
