Overview
Published in conjunction with the Maine Maritime Museum’s exhibit, this book traces the state’s historic roots to slavery and explores the contributions of Indigenous and Black Americans to Maine’s rich maritime history. Featured is archival material from the Museum’s collection of never-before-exhibited journals, letters, photographs, and maps, to provide context to the untold stories of the state’s Indigenous and Black communities and shed light on Maine’s involvement in the Atlantic slave economy. Reflective essays by six experts focus on various aspects of Maine’s Indigenous and Black maritime history and culture and the connection between shipbuilding and shipping in northern New England and the slave trade:
Bob Greene on Malaga Island
James Francis Sr. (Penobscot) on Wabanaki Waterways
Meadow Dibble on New England’s role in the slave trade
Seth Goldstein on Maine and the West Indies trade in sugar, cod, and slaves
Kate McMahon on Maine and the illegal slave trade
Tess Chakkalakal on Cotton Town files
