and Thelma Walker Maritime Symposium examining Maine leadership on
Saturday April 4, 2020. As part of the state’s bicentennial

wide range of disciplines to examine what leadership means in the
context of maritime Maine. This interdisciplinary program will touch
on abolitionists, the Civil War, the slave trade, 20th century
medicine, steamships, the Navy, the War of 1812, and Maine’s lobster
fishery. Advance registration is required, tickets will not be
available at the door. An optional boxed lunch can be ordered during
registration; attendees are also free to go off-site to enjoy Bath’s
