SUMMARY:Ice Ship to Calcutta: Captain Pritchard and the Ultimate Ephemera
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Lowell’s Boat Shop Winter Speaker Series\, join us for the tragic tale of Captain Pritchard aboard the Elcano. \nJoin us at the Museum of Old Newbury for an unforgettable evening on Tuesday\, Feb 27\, 2024 at 7:00 PM. \nOn June 15\, 2023\, the Museum of Old Newbury purchased a slate tablet from an auction in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, a notebook-paper sized piece of thin stone\, double-sided and framed in walnut. Notes kept on slate were ephemeral. Slates were used to keep the “rough log”\, and they were erased after the notes were copied down into the ship’s official log. \nThis slate deck log became\, accidentally\, a permanent record of the last moments of a man’s life\, and revealed a gripping story of love\, loss\, murder\, and bicycling in the Himalayas. Intrigued? Come hear the whole wild story and see this piece of ultimate ephemera for yourself. \nThe story of the Elcano has been revealed through a series of partnerships. Lowell’s Boat Shop executive director Graham McKay and MOON director Bethany Groff Dorau worked together to decipher the deck log\, while the Custom House Maritime Museum lent a copy of a journal that revealed another Pritchard – the Captain’s wife Emily – as she made her way to Calcutta and home again. \nJoin us for a Dark and Stormy evening with maritime-themed refreshments.
