Tidal power was a key element of the industrial scene from medieval London to 19th-century New England and it’s being harnessed again in 21st century Maine. Historians, an archaeologist, environmentalists and a 6th generation Maine sawyer will share how they explore and plan to implement this technology. Join other participants on a low-tide visit to several tide mill sites exploring how to study the way topography was used and how water was controlled to by tidal millwrights.
Details are posted in the August 2012 issue of Tide Mill Times, published by the Tide Mill Institute as an email newsletter – see www.tidemillinstitute.org.
