Georgia, Liz and I drove up to Salem to visit the J.M.W.Turner exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum. Turner was one of the great romantic 17th Century English landscape painters and long one of my favorite artists. The exhibition was magnificent and comprehensive. We also visited the Peabody Essex's other galleries, including one of the most comprehensive collections of maritime paintings and models anywhere. The Peabody is also known for its many artifacts from the early days of the China and East Indies trade. In fact, the museum's founders were sea captains and traders from that era, when Salem was one of the pre-eminent ports of the early American Republic.

The East India Marine Hall, Salem. Dedicated in 1825

The reopening of the stunning "new" Peabody Essex Museum in June 2003 calls to mind another related event that took place in 1825 -- the completion and dedication of the oldest of the PEM's gallery buildings, the East India Marine Hall. The hall was a by-product of the East India Marine Society, which was organized in 1799 and incorporated early in the following year. Membership was limited to ships' masters or supercargos who had sailed around either Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope. The purposes of the society were to share navigation information relating to the East Indies; to provide benefits to members who had been disabled or to the families of members who had died; and "to form a Museum of natural and artificial curiosities, particularly such as are to be found beyond the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn."
