Searsport District High School, Penobscot Marine Museum Collaborate on "Alternate Path" to Academic Success

A new boatbuilding program is being used to teach physical science to a small group of high school students, thanks to collaboration between Searsport District High School and Penobscot Marine Museum. Even as they learn how to sharpen chisels, mix epoxy and run a bandsaw, seven sophomores, juniors and seniors are studying concepts such as vectors, drag and torque, with the help of a professional boatbuilder and educators from the school and the museum.

"If it goes in the snow, it belongs at this show!" The Owls Head Transportation Museum will hold its fifth annual “Snow Movers” – Winter Transportation Festival – on February 26 & 27.  This year’s two-day event will feature Lombard Log Hauler demonstrations, Model T snowmobile rides, an antique snowmobile parade, as well as many fun, family-oriented activities throughout the weekend.
