SUMMARY:Kelsey Wentling - 2022 Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 14\, 2022\nVirtual Lecture\n6:00 pm\n$5.00 for CRM Members\n$10.00 for Non-Members \n  \nKelsey Wentling\, River Steward\, Connecticut River Conservancy\nWater Quality in the CT River: what is it and how is it measured? \n  \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT \nThe Connecticut River has a reputation for poor water quality —  does that still hold true? \nOnce known as the most beautifully landscaped sewer in America\, the Connecticut River has been burdened by a reputation of poor water quality for decades. While the Connecticut was the archetypal polluted river of the time\, much has changed in the 60 years since it was dubbed with this undesirable title. This lecture focuses on the basics of what good water quality means and how we measure it in the Connecticut River. We discuss what has changed in the last 60 years and the progress still to be made in the next 60 years. \nKelsey got started with CRC in 2019 as a volunteer and then as staff assisting with Source to Sea Cleanup. Prior to joining CRC\, Kelsey analyzed how emerging markets might influence Massachusetts’ climate goals\, taught a course on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, and worked as an AmeriCorps volunteer and outdoor science educator. Kelsey holds an M.S. in Environmental Conservation from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her research explored the interface of science and policy in transboundary river basins\, using case studies to identify ways to promote the use of science in management decisions. \nPhoto Courtesy of Kelsey Wentling

SUMMARY:CRM Concerts Underway: Live Music on the River: John Spignesi
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, August 21\, 2022\n4:00 – 6:00 pm \n$50 Members\n$55 Non-Members \nLIVE MUSIC ON THE RIVER \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT \nWe’ve been lucky enough to have JSB on our lawn for Thursdays on the Dock. Now we are so excited to offer for your listening pleasure\, a two-hour JSB show aboard the RiverQuest. This is really one show that you do not want to miss! \nNew Haven based quartet “JSB” (shortened for The John Spignesi Band) is a group you don’t want to sleep on. Led by guitarist/frontman\, John “Spigs” Spignesi\, this band has been steadily making a name for themselves in the East Coast jam scene since their formation in January 2015. \n“What’s on the setlist tonight?” many fans tend to ask. The answer is you\, the audience\, and the vibe at the venue. Together we can guide the journey and the energy of the show. It’s about that shared experience. JSB has never used setlists\, often sculpting shows on the fly\, with rockers\, ballads\, & sing-a-longs. A truly diverse musical ensemble who doesn’t believe limiting themselves to genres\, JSB performs a wide variety of original tunes while adding in covers that they truly make their own. \nImage Courtesy: John Spignesi \n

SUMMARY:Thursdays on the Dock: John Spignesi Band
DESCRIPTION:Tonight’s Thursdays on the Dock is ON. If it continues raining\, we will move indoors.  \n  \nJohn Spignesi Band\nThursday\, July 21\, 2021\n5:30-7:30 pm \nThursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple since 2009. 13 years in and we are still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August from 5:30-7:30\, bring a chair or blanket\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \nOur presenting sponsor\, Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering massages and giveaways. \nNew Haven based quartet “JSB” (shortened for The John Spignesi Band) is a group you don’t want to sleep on. Led by guitarist/frontman\, John “Spigs” Spignesi\, this band has been steadily making a name for themselves in the East Coast jam scene since their formation in January 2015. \n“What’s on the setlist tonight?” many fans tend to ask. The answer is you\, the audience\, and the vibe at the venue. Together we can guide the journey and the energy of the show. It’s about that shared experience. JSB has never used setlists\, often sculpting shows on the fly\, with rockers\, ballads\, & sing-a-longs. A truly diverse musical ensemble who doesn’t believe limiting themselves to genres\, JSB performs a wide variety of original tunes while adding in covers that they truly make their own. \nJSB has shared the stage with national-touring acts such as Max Creek\, Zach Deputy\, Kung Fu\, The Funky Dawgz Brass Band\, and more. On the road and on the stage\, the band’s motto has become “No Reverse” inspiring them to always be hungry for more. \nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site. All updates will be shown there. \nWe pass a hat!\nThese events are free; we pass a hat to enable us to continue the tradition. \nCash bar. Please no BYOB.\nBeer and wine are available for purchase. Porky Pete’s is onsite and has options for dinner or snacks. \nWant to get out on the water?\nTake a sunset cruise aboard the Onrust. Departing from Steamboat Dock\, the cruise is a great way to experience New England’s Great River. Bring a picnic supper. \nWhile you are on property\, photographs may be taken for promotional purposes. \nImage Courtesy of David Zeleznik photography.

Seating on board the Onrust is limited for this one-of-a-kind event. \nPURCHASE TICKETS  \n\nONRUST\nOnrust is a re-creation of the vessel Adriaen Block built in 1614.  She is available for public cruises as well as private charters.  Built over several years in upstate New York using traditional plans and means\, the Onrust is a wholly unique ship that serves to educate and entertain visitors curious about the age of exploration\, the fur trade\, and our early colonial history. \nThe Johnson Girls \nJohnson Girls have been a force on the folk and maritime music scene for over two decades as the leading all-woman\, a cappella maritime group in the world. Believing that sea chanteys and songs of the sea were the first real “World Music”\, Joy Bennett\, Alison Kelley\, Bonnie Milner\, and Deirdre Murtha each bring a special influence to the group. Whether performing at packed international folk festivals\, intimate venues\, workshops\, or presenting school or library programs\, The Johnson Girls remain true to their mission of keeping chantey singing and its history alive\, bringing women’s voices to the fore\, and encouraging everyone to join in the revelry. Widely acclaimed for their powerhouse performances of rousing work songs\, sensitive renderings of haunting ballads and laments\, and hair-raising harmonies\, they sweep their audiences along in a tidal fervor. “The Johnson Girls\, chantey singers from America\, took the place by storm…  Those who thought a chantey singer had to be male\, bearded\, and with a beer gut\, needed to think again.”  – Cornwall Guardian (UK) \nSea music may well have been the first “world music.”  Ships were often melting pots\, with crew-members from many countries\, and who were heavily influenced by the music they heard while traveling around the world and from other crew members.  These sailors incorporated into their work songs and other shipboard music the different rhythms and styles from their own often diverse cultures as well as those they encountered during their voyages.  Each of The Johnson Girls was captivated by this music at different times in their lives\, and came together in 1997 following the Mystic Seaport Sea Music festival to burst through the barrier of this previously male dominated genre. \nEach of The Johnson Girls brings a specialty and style to the ensemble.  Their extensive repertoire includes songs with an Afro-Caribbean influence\, of the inland waterways\, of fishing\, mining\, Irish\, Anglo-American\, Italian\, French\, and Canadian ballads and work songs\, and much more.  The Johnson Girls bring a unique interpretation to their repertoire while preserving the traditional roots of their music. \nIn addition to powerful main stage performances\, The Johnson Girls have led participatory workshops and demonstrations during festivals and folk weeks/weekends on many topics including but by no means limited to:  women and the sea\, contemporary sea songs\, harmony\, sea chanteys 101\, work songs: old and new\, fishing: then and now\, Afro-Caribbean songs\, ballads\, song collecting\, landsmen\, sailors and ladies\, and more. \nThe Johnson Girls have 4 CDs including the most recent “On Deck & Below”\, “The Johnson Girls”\, “On the Rocks”\, and “Fire Down Below” have received rave reviews in the US and UK in Dirty Linen\, Sing Out\, Traditional Music Maker and Living Tradition magazines\, The Cornwall Guardian\, International Chantey Magazine\, and the Folk Music Society of NY newsletter. \n  \n\n \n  \nBand image: Courtesy of The Johnson Girls\nOnrust Deck: J Raunikar – CT River Museum

SUMMARY:Lucianne Lavin - 2022 Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 17\, 2022\nVIRTUAL\n6:00 pm\n$5.00 for CRM Members\n$10.00 for Non-Members \n  \nLucianne Lavin\, Director of Research and Collections Emeritus\,\nThe Institute for American Indian Studies\n \nDutch-Native American Relationships in Eastern New Netherland (That’s Connecticut\, Folks!) \nExamine the significant impact of Dutch traders and settlers on the history of the colony and state of Connecticut\, and their relationships with its Indigenous peoples. \nWhat is now the state of Connecticut was once part of the 17th century Dutch Empire. New Netherland extended from Cape Cod west to Delaware Bay from 1614 to 1650. At that time\, the Dutch gave up much of their claim to Connecticut to the English at the Treaty of Hartford\, but retained control of its southwestern portion. Dutch families continued to live in other parts of Connecticut as well. \nConnecticut’s first documented European explorers AND settlers were the Dutch. The aim of this presentation is to introduce the audience to their significant impacts on our history\, including the continuing strong Dutch presence in western Connecticut\, Dutch relationships with local Indigenous communities\, and the noteworthy\, often long-term effects of those relationships on our state and regional histories. The Dutch deserve a more prominent position in future Connecticut history books and museum exhibits. Dutch-American history and Dutch contributions to American culture should be mandated topics in Connecticut’s school curriculum. \nLucianne Lavin is Director of Research and Collections at the Institute for American Indian Studies\, a research museum and educational center in Washington\, CT. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from New York University. Lavin is an archaeologist who has over 30 years of research and field experience in Northeastern archaeology and anthropology\, including teaching\, museum exhibits and curatorial work\, cultural resource management\, editorial work\, and public relations. \nDr. Lavin has written over 100 professional publications and technical reports on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Northeast. She was awarded the Russell award by the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and elected Fellow of the New York State Archaeological Association for exemplary archaeology work in their respective states. \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT \n  \nPhoto Courtesy of Lucianne Lavin

SUMMARY:Burning of the Ships Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Burning of the Ships Commemoration\nSaturday\, May 14\, 2022 at 2:00 PM\nConnecticut River Museum\, Essex\, CT \nAdmission to the Museum is free for the Burning of the Ships visitors. \nThe Burning of the Ships Commemoration is a free public celebration held in Essex\, Connecticut on the second Saturday in May. The Sailing Masters of 1812 hold the commemorative event to mark the British raid on Essex ships and shipyard on April 8\, 1814 during the War of 1812. \nBackground information: \nIn 1968\, on a damp and chilly spring day\, the Sailing Masters of 1812 held its first “Burning of the Ships Commemoration.” The group’s charter members were very well aware of the historical importance of the April 8\, 1814 burning of the ships in Essex\, the largest naval loss that the United States had until Pearl Harbor. The Sailing Masters continued an oral tradition started by Austin Lay who witnessed the raid and told the story to school children until his death\, at the age of 93\, in 1891. The Sailing Masters have become the keepers of this small part of US history\, and annually mark this historic event with a parade and concert at the location of the British raid. \nThe purpose of the Sailing Masters of 1812 is to perpetuate the art and performance of ancient fifing and drumming and to commemorate the role of Essex\, Connecticut in the War of 1812\, and is a nonprofit organized for historical and educational purposes. The Corps has adopted the uniform of a US Naval Sailing Master\, a warrant officer ranked between midshipmen and lieutenant. The Corps perform on wooden fifes and rope tension snare and bass drums\, and its repertoire includes period tunes and music from the fife and drum tradition. These include nautical and military tunes such as “Roving Sailor\,” Sailor’s Hornpipe\, “1812\,” “Hulls Victory\,” and “Unites States March;” and historic tunes such as “Yankee Doodle\,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” \nImage credit:  Sailing Masters of 1812

SUMMARY:The Moon\, Stars\, and Tides: A sailor’s guide to the universe
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 14\, 2022\n4:00 – 8:00 pm \nJonathan Craig & Brenda Milkofsky at the Connecticut River Museum\, with a cruise aboard the Onrust. \nThe Moon\, Stars\, and Tides: A sailor’s guide to the universe \nBrenda Milkofsky\, retired director and curator of the Connecticut River Museum will lead off our adventure at 4:00 pm with a behind the scenes view of some of the museum’s historic navigation equipment collection. She’ll offer a brief history of ship building along the Connecticut River before we head to the museum\, itself\, for a look at their permanent exhibits. At 6:00 pm\, we then join educator and conservationist Jonathan Craig\, the Onrust ship captain and crew who will serve as our guides for an evening sail aboard this 45-foot replica of Adriaen Block’s sailing vessel\, the original built in New York in 1614\, for exploration of New England’s coastline.We will learn how navigation and knowledge of the sea were often a matter of experience and feel (dead reckoning) rather than a precise science; the Pilgrims\, for instance\, expected to land in Virginia. We will enjoy the company of experienced sailors who will share their expertise in reading the stars\, following the tides and currents\, and harnessing the wind. Examples of old navigation instruments as well as modern iPad apps and GPS will be demonstrated during this two-hour cruise. \nTo Register\, Click Here
