Educational Programming in Exeter and Dover on Board the Gundalow Captain Edward H. Adams

The Gundalow Company (a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization) sponsors maritime history and environmental education programs for school groups and the public onboard the replica gundalow Captain Edward Adams from May through November in 12-15 riverfront locations in the Piscataqua Region. Funding from the NHEP in 2005 supported the Gundalow Company’s efforts to successfully add Dover and Exeter to the towns visited by the gundalow between May and November. While the gundalow was in Dover and Exeter, collaborative educational programs were offered onboard to a total of nearly 3,000 people including youth and teen groups as well as the public during community events such as the Exeter Revolutionary War Festival. In addition, relationships were built among several key coastal organizations and Gundalow Company staff, board, and volunteers. These relationships will be nurtured in the months to come and will ensure that the programs offered in these towns will continue
