Presented by Yarmouth History Center and Yarmouth Municipal Television, Inside Yarmouth History: “Henry Kelsey” explores the fascinating history of an 1844 watercolor painting of the Yarmouth-built bark Henry Kelsey. This painting by French artist Honore Pellegrin offers a window into Yarmouth’s shipbuilding history and the lives of captains and their families back home. The work is one of the newest additions to the History Center’s collection. Learn more below!
