SUMMARY:Pull Together: Maritime Maine in the 1914-1918 Great War
LOCATION:340
DESCRIPTION:“During the progress of the 20 months from April 1917 to November 1918, Bat
h was utterly transformed.”- Henry Wilson Owen, The Edward Clarence Plummer
History of Bath, Maine, 1926\nThe significance of naval and merchant ships
, and by extension the shipyards that built them, was more uncontested in t
he unprecedented searing magnitude of the first World War – when land armie
s had yet to become highly mechanized, and air power was a novelty – than i
t was in the grim repeat of WWII. Bath and other Maine coastal communities
with long-standing shipbuilding reputations felt the war-fever flush of nat
ional attention (and cash) as America finally surged into action, declaring
war against Germany on April 2, 1917 after three years of indecisive neutr
ality.\n\nPull Together will examine Maine’s contributions (and losses) of
ships, resources, and personnel in the Great War, including Bath-built comm
ercial sailing vessels sunk (or missed) by the German navy, coastal defense
s and patrol craft, and the service careers of Maine-born mariners and Main
e-built ships of all kinds, from yachts to four-stackers to submarines. Oth
er related topics will include life in the “delirium” of wartime Bath as re
vealed in contemporary newspapers, propaganda, posters, photography, and ot
her original collection sources at Maine Maritime Museum.
