Final Lighthouses Across the Curriculum Workshop Lighthouses across the Curriculum ~ Perfect topic for Maine Studies ~ July 16-18, 2019 Maine’s rocky shore is as perilous as it is picturesque. Thus, sixty-seven lighthouses rose above its craggy coast to guide those who relied on the sea for their livelihood. Ships were vital to the fishing, granite, lime, lumber and shipbuilding industries that thrived in early, coastal com- munities. Lighthouses serve as symbols of strength and inspiration by reminding us of heroic deeds and of our rich maritime heritage. Over time, automation caused all light stations to repurpose and the one transformed into an educational facility by the Dept. of Marine Resources awaits you. Come learn about the life and times of the Burnt Island Lighthouse - Maine’s oldest “original” lighthouse. Join us for a life-changing workshop - one that will not only recharge your battery but acquaint you with activities Burnt Island Lighthouse By: Gus that can be integrated across your curriculum. Experiential Learning at its BEST! On Burnt Island, you will fully engage in learning as you participate in a living history program; read logbook entries from the 1800s; journal your own experiences; take measurements and make calculations; capture the beacon through artworks; hear keepers’ tales; experiment with lenses, and visit the lantern-room during the day and after dark. In addition, you will understand the role of the lighthouse and other nearby navigational aids; use math to chart a course with parallel rulers and dividers; visit other local lighthouses, and much, much more.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 2019 Science, Optics, and You Lighthouses are designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses. Participants will discover how light is magnified and directed many miles out to sea. Activities ● Compare/contrast/describe lighthouses of varied names, sizes, shapes & colors. ● Using a map of Maine, identify which are ocean, harbor, and river lights. ● Examine various mirrors, lenses and prisms. Document how they change the appearance of objects and their uses at lighthouses. ● Learn about Augustin Fresnel and his invention that revolutionized lighthouses. ● Visit the Burnt Island Lighthouse during daylight and after dark. Lighthouses in Art and Photography Just as castles are monuments of Europe’s historical periods, lighthouses are monuments to man’s long-lived relationship with the sea. As a favorite subject of many artists and photographers, their beauty has been captured and preserved for future generations. Activities ● Using pen & ink, colored pencils, and watercolors, capture the beauty of the Burnt Island Lighthouse in your journal. ● Release the shutter to capture stunning photos. ● Gather clues embedded within historic lighthouse photos. ● Analyze famous paintings of lighthouses - search for their underlying meaning. ● Share 5 best photos that capture the essence of Burnt Is. Lighthouses in Literature Lighthouses have provoked great interest throughout history in both realistic and symbolic dimensions.

Evening Adventures ● Visit the Burnt Island Lighthouse after dark and journal about the experience. ● Photograph the Burnt Island Light after dark. ● Observe nature’s light – bioluminescence off the dock. Abbie Burgess Grant 1839-1892 THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019 Maritime History of Boothbay Harbor Abenaki Indians were the only residents of the region until the Europeans settled in 1604. These distant travelers chose the safety of the outer island of Damariscove as a fishing station. Eventually, mainland communities were established and the industries of lumber, boatbuilding and ice joined the fisheries. Today, the scenic community maintains a working waterfront that is shared with tourists. Activities ● Take a boat trip to view Mouse Island, Ram Island Lighthouse, Squirrel Island, Fisherman’s Island, Damariscove Island and Cuckold’s Lighthouse. ● Learn about the history and culture associated with these nearby islands. ● Compare/Contrast historic photographs with present day structures on each. Life and Times of Keeper Muise - Living History Program Step back in time (1950) and learn about the life and times of Keeper Joseph Muise, a true lighthouse keeper and his family. Interpreters in period costume will educate and en- tertain you with true stories at the lighthouse, keeper’s dwelling and boathouse. Activities ● Participate in the living history program by visiting various learning stations. ● Visit the restored keeper’s dwelling and appreciate period furnishings. Hendricks Head Lighthouse Tour Along the shores of the nearby Sheepscot River, exists a privately-owned lighthouse. While touring the property, you will learn about several interesting legends, including the distinction it holds of having a keeper who lived there from birth to death. Activities ● Visit the bell tower, dwelling, oil-house and boathouse site. ● Climb the stairs of the square, brick lighthouse and identify features common to the Burnt Island Lighthouse. ● Read the children’s book about the baby that washed ashore in a mattress at Hendricks Head and learn about the flat-iron ghost. .

Darling Marine Center, School of Marine Sciences, University of Maine, Walpole, ME 04573, USA Received 3 November 1998; received in revised form 30 April 1999; accepted 5 May 1999 Abstract Three decapod species in the Gulf of Maine (American lobster Homarus americanus Milne Edwards, 1837, rock crab Cancer irroratus Say, 1817, and Jonah crab Cancer borealis Stimpson, 1859) were investigated to determine how their patterns of settlement and post-settlement abundance varied at different spatial and temporal scales. Spatial scales ranged from centimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Abundances of newly settled and older (sum of several cohorts) individuals were measured at different substrata, depths, sites within and among widely spaced regions, and along estuarine gradients. Temporal scales ranged from weekly censuses of new settlers within a season to inter-annual comparisons of settlement strengths. Over the scales considered here, only lobsters and rock crabs were consistently abundant in their early post- settlement stages. Compared to rock crabs, lobsters settled at lower densities but in speci®c habitats and over a narrower range of conditions. The abundance and distribution of older individuals of both species were, however, similar at all scales. This is consistent with previous observations that, by virtue of high fecundity, rock crabs have high rates of settlement, but do not discriminate among habitats, and suffer high levels of post-settlement mortality relative to lobsters.
