MARITIME HISTORY AND ART

Here on the North Shore, we love to go to the beach. We’re proud of the maritime history of our seaside towns like Gloucester and Salem. We love our seafood, our ocean breezes, our boating trips, and our nautical décor.

Dan Finamore at the Peabody Essex Museum shares this affinity for the sea—he’s spent his career in marine art, currently serving as PEM’s associate director for exhibitions and the Russell, in collaboration with Austen Bailly of the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas.
