About the Event
This past January, George A. Lowery donated a paintstaking piece of craftsmanship to the Mattapoisett Museum in the form of a scratch-built model of Mattapoisett's beloved bark The Wanderer, which took him over 2,000 hours to construct. On May 19, we will welcome The Wanderer "home" with an official unveiling of this breathtaking nautical replica. George Lowery will be on hand to offer a few brief remarks and a group of local singers will be offering up some of the very hymns and shanties that were sung on board during the Wanderer's last "sea service."
