“Human population will grow. Sea level is rising. How will we adapt?” That question is posed as visitors enter the Sheafe Warehouse these days, where a broad-ranging, highly interactive exhibit explores the intersection of 400 years of human activity with the once pristine Piscataqua region. “Changing Nature” has been mounted by the Gundalow Company, known for offering a “floating classroom” of maritime history and environmental stewardship during sails on its gundalow, the Piscataqua. The exhibit, said director Molly Bolster, is a way to expand that mission. We’re open most weekends and by appointment. Visit our information page for exact times.
The Gundalow Company is excited to announce it is setting sail on the Gundalow PISCATAQUA for its 7th Season. Seacoast residents and visitors alike are invited aboard the Gundalow for public sails starting Memorial Day weekend including the much sought-after sunset sails most evenings. There are also special speaker sails on Tuesday evenings that invite local historians, scientists, and all-around interesting folks to chat about historical or cutting edge marine issues and topics. And then there’s the music – concert sails with some of the Seacoast’s best musicians are on Thursday and Sunday evenings. All sailing trips can be booked […]
