• Meredith Spotts’ Cruise Review As cruise comes to a close, seventy-odd days after our departure from Castine, I am left to reflect on one of the most unique experiences I have been through- and a quick apology for my lack of updates during this portion of cruise (sorry, Mom!) The ports we visited were beautiful, but incredibly busy, with […]
• Day 72: Arrival to Portland Good morning, Cruise Blog fans. Today, the State of Maine made its arrival in Portland. It was a peaceful transit from Boston to Portland. We moved slowly under the power of the electric motor, supplied by 3 of our diesel generators. As far as I know, this has been the first time it has been […]
• Day 71: Almost Home This morning the Training Ship State of Maine made its arrival into Boston. It was an exciting day because this was the closest glimpse to home that many of us have had in almost fifty days. The excitement began at around 0700, just after our morning muster when we took on a Boston Harbor pilot. We […]

• Day 69: Finals and Flashlights Between having our two written final exams and our engineering system assessment called “flashlights,” training day 13 was a day that everyone dreaded, juniors and freshmen alike. Alpha company was the last company to have their final assessments, which some may have viewed as a luxury. As a member of Alpha company, I can assure […]

• Day 66: A Canadian Excursion As I have outlined in my past blog posts, the excursions altruistically assembled by Chief Warrant Officer Kowalski have been a hit. Each one has had the perfect duality of joyful, unrequited tourism and encompassed the essence of the area, demonstrating its unique landscape, history, and culture. Leaving Newfoundland, after participating in the last excursion, […]

• Day 63: The Horn Strikes Again ​To some people of the shore, the sound of a distant ship’s foghorn may be a soothing reminder that life exists beyond the confines of their landlocked labyrinth. To the crew and cadets of the TS State of Maine, it is a reminder that we are almost home. That foghorn is the same one we […]
• Day 62: Fan Room Fiasco This morning, those of us who reside in any one of the 27-person single-room living spaces below deck affectionately called “the berthings” were awoken to a symphony of wet vacuums. When I finally crawled out of bed at 0600 in the morning, a team was working on the fan room adjacent to the berthings. It […]

• Portugal Cruise: Excursion Adventures For every port, Chief Warrant Officer Kowalski plans out terrific excursions for the students, staff, and crew to attend. In Porto, the excursion was a walking tour around the city, then a boat tour on the Douro River, and, lastly, a tour of a winery. I went on the tour with my dad, who is […]
• Day 49: Palma de Mallorca excursion was a hit Our TSSOM, with its beloved crew, has departed Mallorca, exited the Straits of Gibraltar, and put the balmy Mediterranean Sea in our wake. We are pitching and rolling in the Northern Atlantic Ocean yet again. While enjoying our port stay in Palma, some of us embarked on an excursion, altruistically assembled by Chief Warrant Officer […]
• Day 48: Back through the Strait Today, we are headed back through the Strait of Gibraltar and the Pillars of Hercules. While I’m on yeoman duty today, the first time we passed through here I was standing watch on the bridge. After experiencing the excitement of steering, witnessing the 2/C muster up the confidence to navigate us through, and seeing us […]
• Day 41: Greetings from the Mediterranean After departing Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Tuesday, we made our way up the coast of Africa and through the Straight of Gibraltar during lunch yesterday. Many people came out on deck to get pictures of Morocco on our starboard side and Spain on our port. Passing through the Pillars of Hercules gave the deck […]
• Day 37: Puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife The TSSOM finally made it to our first international port of call, and first port of call besides our unplanned one where we started in Castine and sailed for several days. Arriving to Tenerife was an interesting process as Delta Company was on watch. This proved to be a fantastic learning opportunity for the junior […]
• Canary Island Wildlife and Landscapes in Photos
• Day 38: Back to Sea Today marked our first full day at sea following our departure from Tenerife. The tourist island arose much fanfare amongst the students aboard the Training Ship State of Maine. Since we left, students have been sharing stories of their excursions and experiences throughout Santa Cruz and Tenerife. The tales of their misadventures were often met […]
• Day 37: Adventures in Santa Cruz de Tenerife The TSSOM finally made it to our first international, and first port call besides our unplanned one where we started in Castine. Arriving in Tenerife was an interesting process as Delta Company was on watch. This proved to be a fantastic learning opportunity for the junior deck cadets as we boarded a pilot early in […]

• Day 33: Shipmates Today marks 33 days that we have been onboard and the 11th straight day of being in the middle of the ocean with no land anywhere in sight. To say I am proud of the development and leadership-building  practices I see would be an understatement. As the RC (Regimental Commander), I can get bogged down […]
• Day 32: One Whole Month It has been officially over a month since we boarded TSSOM for our freshman and junior cruise. As these daily updates have informed it has been a month full of ups and downs, but today for sure will stand out as one of the ups. Like mentioned on our day 30 blog post, I was […]

Speaker Bios & Topic Descriptions

Olivia barnard, ph.d. candidate, johns hopkins university.

“‘Pour le Besoin de la Guerre’:  Africans in the French-Chickasaw Wars, the St. Ursin , and Louisiana’s Long Middle Passage”

On the eve of his departure for the second French-Chickasaw war, Governor Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville mandated that enslavers near New Orleans enlist enslaved men for war service to “relieve the soldiers of the Navy who are not trained to use the oar.” The campaign, involving factions from Canada, France, and Louisiana, is remembered for its catastrophic failure. Historians often emphasize the diverse military gathered by the French, including warriors from at least fourteen Native nations in the Canadian faction alone. However, this multiracial narrative frequently overlooks the crucial role of African and African-descended people to French survival.

This talk explores the experiences of Africans and their descendants during the French-Chickasaw wars and the severe impact these campaigns had on enslaved communities in Louisiana. The aftermath of these wars prompted enslavers and colonial administrators to fund what would become the final slave voyage to French colonial Louisiana, the 1743 voyage of the St. Ursin.

Olivia Barnard is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of History at Johns Hopkins University. She is currently completing a dissertation about the last slave voyage to French-controlled Louisiana. It was the first and only slave ship to be funded by enslavers rather than a monopoly company during the French regime. As an undergraduate, her honors thesis on the same ship earned her the distinction of “senior scholar.” Outside of her dissertation, she works as Associate Editor on the digital project Keywords for Black Louisiana, transcribing and translating 18 th century French colonial records that center Black life and humanity. Most recently, she was awarded the Rankin Prize from the Louisiana Historical Association.

Dr. Meadow Dibble, Executive Director, Atlantic Black Box

“How to Resurface an Unsunk Ship: The Challenge of Reckoning with New England’s Role in the Slave Trade”

On August 1, 1819, a Maine-built ship docked at Boston, completing a triangular voyage to West Africa and the West Indies. When customs officials boarded the vessel to examine the cargo, what they found were stones in ballast and mosquitoes playing host to a deadly yellow fever virus that devastated the port and burned a tragic path down the eastern seaboard. Boston’s Board of Health ordered the immediate scuttling of the vessel. Only it wasn’t.

This talk explores the actual history of the Ten Brothers featuring a conspiracy of silence that has lasted two centuries. Following historical threads into the present day allows us to consider how our region’s suppressed role in slavery relates to what we have come to recognize as the twin plagues of racism and disease. As was true 200 years ago, the truth remains unsunk, hidden in plain sight. The question is: can we stop pretending it isn’t?

Meadow Dibble, Ph.D. is the Founding Director of Atlantic Black Box. Originally from Cape Cod, she lived for six years on Senegal’s Cape Verde peninsula. Meadow received her PhD from Brown University’s Department of French Studies and taught at Colby College. In 2018, she founded Atlantic Black Box, a nonprofit based in Portland, Maine that empowers Northeast communities to take up the critical work of researching and reckoning with the region’s active role in colonization and the global economy of enslavement. Meadow recently served as Co-Lead on the Place Justice initiative, carried out in partnership with the Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations. She is currently heading up the Walk for Historical and Ecological Recovery.

Carol Olsen, Figurehead Historian and Independent Researcher

“Charles A. L. Sampson, Esteemed Carver of Bath”

Charles A. L. Sampson, a prominent American ship-carver active from 1850-1881, crafted allegorical and portrait figureheads for ships that enhanced the prestige of Bath area vessels. With local newspapers often detailing Sampson’s work, he enjoyed an elevated reputation as a craftsman. Sampson received attention into the twentieth century with extant pieces documented in the American Index of Design, preserving his work as a national aesthetic.

Through examination of stylistic elements that are recognizably Sampson’s, this talk takes wide stock of Sampson’s artistic legacy and highlights new research that expands upon the knowledge of Sampson and his body of work, which includes nearly thirty attributed figureheads and other whimsical carvings. 

Carol Olsen has interspersed ship figurehead scholarship, with a 22-year career in sophisticated satellite communications for ships. As an Art History undergraduate at the University of California at Berkeley, Carol was influenced by ship figureheads in museum collections and noted the sculptures’ absence in art history curriculum. While earning a master’s degree from Texas A&M University in Nautical Archaeology, she documented major figurehead collections  at Mystic Seaport and The Mariners’ Museum. She is now devoted full time to ship carving studies and has contributed new information to private collections in Europe, South America, and the United States.

Dr. Christopher Pastore, Associate Professor of History, University of Albany, State University of New York

“Combing Slimy Shores: Seaweed Collecting and the Origins of Algal Botany”

This presentation examines how during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries knowledge of marine algae moved between Europe and America, demonstrating that the science of seaweed was often developed both literally and figuratively from the bottom up. Farmers, fishermen, and most notably, women—people who were often pushed to the margins of science and industry—were central to the creation of nineteenth-century algal knowledge. Their experiences shaped the methods by which algae was collected, cataloged, and used. 

Examining the ways class and gender conditioned the production of algal understanding, this talk writes seaweeds into the history of marine science and explores the entanglements between natural ecologies and human cultures and economies. Ultimately, this work shows how the scientific contributions of regular people helped lay the foundations of marine ecology. 

Christopher Pastore is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Albany. A social and cultural historian of early America and the Atlantic world, his particular interests focus on the human dimensions of environmental change. He holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in American History and M.S. in college teaching from the University of New Hampshire as well as a B.A. in Biology from Bowdoin College and M.F.A. in nonfiction Creative Writing from the New School for Social Research, where he has taught courses in the Writing Program. 

Dr. Robin E. Preiss, Postdoctoral Fellow, New York University & Nathan Adams, Sawyer and Shipwright, Mystic Seaport Museum

“Hauled Out”: Hull Sounding and Diagnostic Listening in the Modern Preservation Shipyard

Floating upon open waters, a vessel serves as a container for holding humans apart from inundating waters. To preserve this careful balance, a vessel is routinely “hauled out” for preventative maintenance and repair, resurfaced to the realm of air and sunlight.

Before the invention of sonar and moisture meters, nautical trades relied on sounds to evaluate the condition of vessels. Percussion “sounding” allows the“clinically skilled listener” to observe deviations in sound quality, pitch, and resonance. Sonic variation generally correlates with differences in material density caused by the presence of rot, or a chronic “sickness.”

This talk discusses the degree to which these “sounding” techniques persist in the modern preservation shipyard, disseminating ongoing participant-observant and archival research. The broader project contributes to ongoing discourse around “repair” as an ethical response to the ubiquitous disposability of material culture in today’s age of accelerated capital consumption.

Robin E. Preiss is an interdisciplinary scholar and postdoctoral fellow at New York University working at the intersection of sound studies, American literature, and the environmental humanities. She earned her Ph.D. in Historical Musicology at NYU where she now teaches courses that introduce first year college students to the humanities and interdisciplinary modes of inquiry. Some of her research interests include media and organic decay, soundscapes of mortality, subterranean music venues, and listening practices in the contexts of animal husbandry and palliative medicine.

Nathan Adams is a shipwright and sawyer in the Henry B. DuPont Preservation Shipyard at Mystic Seaport Museum. Prior to his work in the shipyard, he trained as a Maritime Historian at the University of British Columbia with Prof. Daniel Vickers. In Mystic, he has worked on the restoration of the Mayflower II , the 1921 fishing schooner L.A. Dunton , and the 1841 whaling ship Charles W. Morgan .

Sarah Timm, Director of Education, Maine Maritime Museum

“Whose Land? Decolonizing Settler Maps of Maine”

All maps have a story to tell. This workshop-style presentation introduces museum education methodologies used to reframe our own perceptions of history by breaking down our assumptions and perspectives of the past using primary sources.  Through examination of 18th-19th century maps and charts, attendees will learn to think critically about how a place and its history is recorded, remembered, or erased.  “Whose Land?” is an extension of programs developed in collaboration with Wabanaki educators and is a part of a larger museum initiative to decolonize and reframe maritime stories.

Sarah Timm is the Director of Education at Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. Using place-based and object-based teaching methodologies, Sarah and the Maine Maritime Museum education team are committed to strengthening dialogue, critical-thinking, and empathy through innovative programming.  Sarah received her Masters in Art History from Florida State University. She has co-taught courses at Bowdoin College and Maine College of Art and Design connected to Maine maritime history and material culture.

Port Bath ME cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Bath ME, Maine. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Bath ME is a Kennebec River cruise port and town Maine state's Sagadahoc County, with a population of around 9,000. As a tourism travel destination, it is popular for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and the annual festival Iron Works and Heritage Days (held on the 4th of July weekend). The town is part of the Greater Portland metro region.

The area was called "Sagadahoc" (translated as "mouth of a big river") by Abenaki Indians - as a reference to Kennebec River explored in 1605 by Samuel de Champlain (1574-1635). Most of the first settlers were from Bath UK. The Sagadahoc settlement was expanded in 1660 when the land was added from the Indian chief Robinhood. Incorporated as part of Georgetown (1753), Bath was incorporated as a separate town in 1781 and was named after Bath (Somerset, England). It was incorporated as a city in 1847 and designated county seat in 1854.

Among the town's largest industries were iron, brass, and lumber, as well as trade in coal and ice. Bath is also famous for shipbuilding. It was developed since 1743, with over 200 local shipbuilding yards and around 5,000 vessels launched in the region.

By the mid-19th-century, Bath ME became the USA's 5th largest port constructing clipper/sail ships. The last enterprise to build wooden vessels here was Percy & Small Shipyard (in 1971 acquired for preservation by Maine Maritime Museum). Town's most famous shipyard is Bath Iron Works (established in 1884), which is still a major employer in the region and currently a division of General Dynamics Corporation.

As cruise port, Bath ME is included in the regular schedule of USA's largest river cruise company - American Cruise Lines . The next table shows American Independence ship's 7-day "Maine Coast and Harbors" itinerary as ports sequence.
