					<description><![CDATA[At the Salcombe Museum Society’s recent AGM Christine Milton was unanimously elected as Chair. Christine, who is also the museum’s Education Officer, is a local lass who grew up hearing tales of local shipwrecks from her parents who owned Kingsbridge Watersports, a dive charter business running out of Salcombe. Her first dive was on the Herzogin Cecile when she was not much older than ten. During her school holidays, and for the first few years after leaving school she worked at Traditional Sail at Lincombe Boatyard, where she learnt traditional boat repair techniques. Christine then went on to study a BSc in Ocean Science at Plymouth University, an MSc in Geoarchaeology and PhD in Archaeology with Soil Science at Reading University. Three years ago she moved back to Malborough after working in commercial archaeology. Christine started volunteering at the museum whilst still living in Reading, initially as a steward and helping with various projects when she could. Her previous volunteer posts include the education department at the Natural History Museum and, having also gained a teaching qualification along the way, she is keen to develop the museum’s role as a valuable educational and cultural resource in the local community. &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At the Annual General Meeting of the Devon History Society last Saturday (12th October 2019) Roger Barrett, the curator of Salcombe Maritime Museum, received the Society’s prestigious W.G. Hoskins Prize The W.G. Hoskins Prize is awarded in memory of the historian Professor William George Hoskins (1908-1992) who played a leading role in establishing the previously marginalised discipline of local history as an academic subject The prize was awarded to Roger for his book Salcombe: Schooner Port: A Maritime History of Salcombe and its Merchant Sailing Vessels in the Nineteenth Century. (Published 23 March 2018) ‘Roger’s book is the first comprehensive account of Salcombe’s heyday as a shipbuilding and ship owning port, famed for its clipper fruit schooners. Beautifully illustrated, it tells the story of the Haven’s maritime community in the nineteenth century and describes the ships, their trades and the men and women who built, owned and sailed them. Many of the illustrations are in the Salcombe Maritime Museum collection.’ &#160;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As part of Salcombe RNLI’s 150th anniversary celebrations, two commemorative sculptures by local sculptor Jim Martins, are to be unveiled in Salcombe and Kingsbridge on September 21st. The Cookworthy Museum at Kingsbridge and the Maritime Museum at Salcombe are both taking part in the project and are planning to insert Time Capsule boxes in the plinths of the sculptures. The sealed boxes will be about the size of a small/thin suitcase, and local people are invited to help fill them by donating items of memorabilia that tell the story of their town and/or their families, both now and in the past. Family photographs, family trees and documents, particularly from those with connections to the lifeboat and rescue services, as well as local trades, will be very welcome. Drop-in sessions, at which items can be donated, will take place in Salcombe Library on Thursday, August 22nd between 1.15pm and 5.30pm and at Kingsbridge Library on Saturday, August 24th between 9.30am and 1pm. (Please contact the museums if you can’t make these times &#8211; Cookworthy on 01548 853235 and Salcombe MM on 854108). Donor contact details and captions to photographs should be included and items should not be any larger than 5cm [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[76 objects of local historic interest, including the Restless painting above, have been kindly donated to us by the National Trust at Overbecks. They were previously on display in the Maritime Room at Overbecks but were transferred to us during the winter months to allow the Maritime Room to be transformed into a splendid Edwardian Drawing Room. Amongst the new objects now on display in the Maritime Museum are ship paintings and models, the captain’s chair from the wreck of the Louis Sheid in 1939, items from the Herzogin Cecilie wreck in 1936, a set of whaling harpoons and many personal items which once belonged to Salcombe sea captains. &#160;]]></description>
