MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Museum will be holding its annual meeting, at which attendees will be previewed on a summer exhibit exploring a key piece of Mattapoisett history.

The annual meeting will be Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m. Following a short business meeting, curator Connor E. Gaudet “will regale the audience with the history of the iconic bark, the Wanderer, since it was shipwrecked on the rocks of Cuttyhunk Island,” according to the Mattapoisett Museum.

That presentation will serve as a teaser for the launch of the museum’s summer exhibit “Wanderer 100: The Afterlife & Legacy of Mattapoisett's Last Whaler.”

The “celebratory” exhibit of the 100th anniversary since the Wanderer shipwrecked will explore “why the Wanderer has been honored, celebrated and venerated through the years and asks the questions, ‘Why is the Wanderer iconic?’ and ‘Why do we love her so?’” a Mattapoisett Museum press release said.

This talk at the annual meeting at 5 Church St. will be open to the public, though only Mattapoisett Museum members will be able to vote on new board members and changes in by-laws. Self-serve refreshments will be available.
