Podcasting gained in popularity in 2020-21 as museums and other organizations sought ways to keep their profiles and messages front and center in the public eye. We were honored to be featured in the Mariner's Mirror May 13, 2021 episode. Please visit www.snr.org for a list of all podcasts produced to date.
In recent years, we have been interviewed by one foreign and several national radio programs, and have been featured in comprehensive articles in Atlas Obscura, Boating Times, Smithsonian Online Magazine, and the Washington Post. We contribute to several blogs on an invitation basis, and maintain an active exchange of information and images via social media.
In 2017, we circulated an exhibit on loan to us from CFB Esquimalt Museum (Canadian Navy) in Victoria BC. "Creature Comforts" featured mascots from the late 19th through mid 20th centuries. Our own maritime pets exhibit "All Paws on Deck" continues to travel on demand. It features several famous mascots, topical news and images, and a tribute to the pets who were aboard the Titanic on her fateful voyage in 1912.
