The Machacam Club will hold its monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 2 at the Legion Hall, 3 Depot Street. Social time is 5:30 pm, dinner at 6:00 pm.
Our speaker this month will be Seth Mendell. Seth will give a Power Point presentation of the many images found in Clifford Ashley’s 6’ X 16’ mural now completely restored and displayed in the Mattapoisett Historical Society Museum.
The mural, a chart of the Whaling Coast of New England C. 1810, details the coastline from the Connecticut River to Cape Cod including Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and the Elizabeth Islands. Ashley related this colorful history by using one 100 or more characters and images. This is the first time Seth will use the PowerPoint that he has put together during the restoration process of the historical document.
