Dock-u-mentary: The Pearl of The Atlantic
We are pleased to announce the return of our Dock-u-mentary film screening series this fall and winter! Hosted in partnership with New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, the films explore a variety of themes and topics related to commercial fishing and the history and traditions of the maritime world. All films are shown in the National Park's auditorium (33 William Street)* every third Friday October through April at 7:00pm. Register for free through our website or on Eventbrite.
Produced by the New Bedford Seafood Council, The Pearl of the Atlantic is a 1963 film showcasing New Bedford's Atlantic sea scallop fleet and the boat-to-table process. This first film screening of the season is a a special tie-in to FHC's newest exhibit, Ceremonies & Celebrations, which explores the history of the New Bedford Scallop Festival, Working Waterfront Festival, Blessing of the Fleet, and Fishermen's Memorial Service.
*If the National Park remains closed due to the government shutdown, the films will be screened at the Fishing Heritage Center. Check out our website and social media pages for more updates.
