Fred Gosbee shared some video of his work on the jib hanks--complete with patience, perseverance, and ingenuity. 😉 Many thanks to Fred for all the heart and hard work he puts into Maine's First Ship.
This winter is the time to highlight the craftsmanship in our volunteer corps. Fred makes an excellent first example; we'll be sharing more and still we won't be able to share it all. #weloveourvolunteers #historyingenuitycommunity
Our 2023 is going to be a dream come true. We are deeply grateful to the members of Jane Stevens’ family who kicked off our 2023 fundraising season with a donation in honor of their Aunt Jane and her enduring legacy. Thank you for being the wind in our sails!

Fred Gosbee is a musician with a healthy interest in history, and he has shared his musical talents with MFS, often with wife Julia Lane as Castlebay. But that's not all, as a maker of instruments Fred is an experienced woodworker and he has crafted many pieces of Virginia's rigging. Fred must be the personification of patience and perseverance--here we see "the 23 successes and 24 failed attempts" that Fred produced working on jib hanks for our reconstruction of the 1607 pinnace. See more tomorrow! #mondaymessage #patienceandperseverance #historyingenuitycommunity
The couple we know as Fred & Julia here at MFS are also the musical duo Castlebay. They will present on the findings of their research for volume one of their Bygone Ballads of Maine for Midcoast Senior College: Wednesday, January 25, 12noon, at Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, Maine. Castlebay explores the social history of Maine through music as part of the Winter Wisdom series--get the details at midcoastseniorcollege.org/programs/winter-wisdom/

Then they will be here to perform for CCAC on Feb 4th!
As promised some details about our upcoming Baked Bean Supper which will be part of Main Street Bath 's Winterfest on February 10 & 11. (There's nothing like a day of snow and shoveling to make you think about a hot hearty bowl of beans!)
