THE CHESAPEAKE LOG WINTER 2018 3 president’s letter ’VE RECENTLY RETURNED from this year’s biennial conference for ICMM, the International Council of Maritime Museums. This 18th ICMM conference was hosted by the National Maritime Museum of Chile, in Valparaiso. What a stunning city! I was honored to have been appointed Programme Committee Chair two years ago. And, at this year’s conference, I was equally honored to be elected for an eight-year term to ICMM’s executive council. The academic program took a full year to organize and brought together 43 speakers from 22 countries, all presenting maritime museum-related content over five days. I had the opportunity to present on the complementary relationship between traditional boatbuilding methods and technology, to help Creating achieve maritime museum ship or small craft restoration goals, using the restoration of our historic 1889 bugeye Edna Lockwood the thrill of as an example. discovery is Our theme this year was Discoveries! ‘Discovery’ has rich and suggestive meanings; it can mean to survey, to explore and fundamentally examine, to display, to expose, to view, to be the first to find or observe something, to understand how something works. inherent in The word was particularly apt for Valparaiso—one of the most everything we beautiful and important ports on the Pacific coast of South America—and the starting point for many historical voyages of are working exploration and discovery. to achieve at The trip brought its own personal discoveries for me. Exploring historic Valparaiso was fascinating. But at the end of the CBMM. conference, I had an unplanned opportunity to fly to Rapa Nui— Easter Island—for a couple of days. Many of you may feel the same hope I did as a child—perhaps one day to personally see the moai that mark the heritage of the world’s most isolated inhabited island. The experience was everything I could have imagined, and brought KRISTEN L. GREENAWAY a great discovery to me about a sense of authentic place. President Creating the thrill of discovery, and points of access—another key theme that arose from the conference—is fundamentally inherent in everything we are working to achieve at CBMM. Via our education programming for all, our floating fleet, our working Boatyard, and our exhibitions & collections, we strive to give you the opportunity to explore and examine, to find or observe something you may not have noticed before, to understand how something related to the heritage of the Bay works that you may not have encountered or understood before. In short, to discover! At the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Your place to discover! 4 WINTER 2018 THE CHESAPEAKE LOG currents CBMM makes campus Above: CBMM campus, November 2016. upgrades, Photo by JJ Aerial Productions | jjaerialproductions.com continues Master year’s Community Day celebration.
