ISHRA June Conference: Remembering the Departed: From Mourning to Legend (2023)


  • Star Island Isles of Shoals United States (map)

Join us as Sam Collins helps us explore Victorian mourning traditions and funerary customs. Try your hand at the astounding art of Victorian Hairwork Jewelry and join us for an Island Death Tour. Take some time this winter to ponder your own ancestors’ legends and lore and come prepared to share their stories under the guidance of Judith Davis. The play this year will take the form of a dramatic presentation of the Boone Island shipwreck complete with sound effects. This will segue into Judi Trainor teaching us about the U.S. Lifesaving Service, its origins, history, surfmen and rescuers. We will plan again for a side trip to the Wood Island Lifesaving Station with docent Laury Bussey.
