Captains and their spouses traveled the world and brought back cosmopolitan ideals and handiwork to their bustling midcoast communities. The exhibition draws on the museum?s collection of nineteenth-century clothing and accessories including day and evening attire, nightgowns, undergarments, hats and shoes, fans, and jewelry dating from 1850 to 1900.
