"A loosely knit net of regional enterprises". 520 "The United States has long been dependent on the seas, but Americans know little about their maritime history. While Britain and other countries have established national museums to nurture their seagoing traditions, America has left that responsibility to private institutions. In this first-of-its-kind history, James M. Lindgren focuses on a half-dozen of these great museums, ranging from Salem's East India Marine Society, founded in 1799, to San Francisco's Maritime Museum and New York's South Street Seaport Museum, which were established in recent decades. Begun by activists with unique agendas-- whether overseas empire, economic redevelopment, or cultural preservation--these museums have displayed the nation's complex interrelationship with the sea. Yet they all faced chronic shortfalls, as policymakers, corporations, and everyday citizens failed to appreciate the oceans' formative environment. Preserving Maritime America shows how these institutions shifted course to remain solvent and relevant and demonstrates how their stories tell of the nation's rise and decline as a commercial maritime power"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Maritime museums|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2003004603|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Maritime museums.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1010122 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLindgren, James Michael, 1950- |tPreserving maritime America.|dAmherst : University of Massachusetts Press, [2019]|z9781625344625|w(DLC) 2019019892|w(OCoLC)1101027273 830 0 Public history in historical perspective.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010167571 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2356741|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
