Sailing to Freedom
"The Underground Railroad was not limited to land, but included a network of maritime routes along the Atlantic seaboard. This groundbreaking exhibit uncovers the incredible stories of those who sought freedom by sea, shedding light on the maritime routes that played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, including the waters around Martha’s Vineyard. Based on research by Dr. Timothy Walker and a previous exhibit at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Sailing to Freedom broadens our understanding of the daring escapes by sea that were instrumental in the quest for liberation." - Exhibition Excerpt by MV Museum.
