His talk will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Waterville Opera House. Tickets for this lecture cost $5, the author will remain for book signings and questions after the presentation.
The vintage postcards forming the basis of Shettleworth’s book were found by the author in collections of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, in Augusta; the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport; and the Waterville Historical Society. His presentation includes historical commentary and views from the Waterville area which represent the ten chapters in the book.
