Down to the Sea in Ships: A Silent Film with Live Piano Accompaniment

Thacher Hall and The Edward Gorey House are teaming up to bring you a silent film experience just as audiences would have enjoyed it Back Then: with live piano.

Down to the Sea in Ships (1922), directed by Elmer Clifton and filmed in New Bedford, is a full-feature silent film depicting the only whale hunt that was ever filmed. Join us to enjoy this classic film accompanied by a musical score performed live at a grand piano by Dr. Jennifer A. Maxwell, a Grammy-nominated classical concert pianist. Preceding the showing, join us for a group-sing featuring two classic whaling songs.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. Group-sing and film start at 7:00 PM. Concessions will be available for purchase.
