A custom-designed kiosk has been installed on the first floor of the Library, where visitors can view “Abraça o Barco, the Rose Dorothea Story.” This short documentary explains how the Grand Banks fishing schooner Rose Dorothea won the Lipton Cup in 1907 and why a 66 foot model now lives in the heart of Provincetown Public Library. The film is also available on DVD and may be borrowed with your CLAMS card. Funding for this project was made possible by the Massachusetts Foundation for the Humanities, the local Cultural Council and the Friends and Supporters of the Provincetown Public Library.
