Maine's First Ship Book Signing Authors Festival
December 13, 2025 9am - noon
Bath Freight Shed
At Maine’s First Ship we have several authors among our volunteers, and we sell many of their books at our shop in the Bath Freight Shed. These books are a good Christmas gift for fans of Maine’s First Ship.
Many of these authors will be at the freight shed during the Farmers Market on December 13, so you can meet the authors, buy their books, and have the authors sign your books. Our shop will also be open to buy other Maine’s First Ship merchandise. You can also become a member of Maine’s First Ship, or give a gift membership to a friend or relative.
The authors are:
James L Nelson: Various books by our head rigger Jim Nelson.
Paul Cunningham – Recreating Maine’s First Ship; Building a Viking Ship
Jody Bachelder – Here First
Keith Spiro – Making Magic Happen at Maine’s First Ship
David Bellows and Barbara Held – Gus – A Bird’s Life
Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee – Songs of Ships and Sailors
Peter Blachly – The Stone from Halfway Rock
