We all recall last year's monumental exhibition Hudson: A History of Whaling & Maritime Commerce.
Recently, the principal architects of that exhibition--Elaine Eichelberger, Richard Bazelow, and Brenda Shufelt--were interviewed by Kristina Handy for Upstate Archive on WTEN+. In the interview, they talk about whaling, the history of Hudson, and the exhibition. The interview can be viewed here and on YouTube.
The exhibition is currently on display, until mid-February, in the Community Room at the Claverack Free Library, 9 Route 9H. The exhibition in Claverack contains some additional research on Claverack mariners done by Bazelow, as well as scrimshaw on loan from Paula Ptaszek, a collection inherited from her parents who owned the antique stop at Red Mills.
The entire exhibition is now online at the Hudson River Valley Heritage website and can be viewed here.
