Shipwrecks: A Special Collections Pop-up

Shipwrecks: A Special Collections Pop-up In-Person

Water crossings come with unfathomable dangers.  The sea and sky could converge at any moment, casting vessels into the water. This pop-up will explore hazardous voyages, lost ships, and unforgettable storms. From The Tempest to the Titanic, we will present centuries' worth of rare items related to nautical disasters. Some of these incidents are even closer in space and time: the Edmund Fitzgerald sank exactly 50 years ago this month on tempestuous Lake Superior. Visit the adjoining exhibit, Encounters and Dialogues, for more on the histories of journeys by ship.
