Position Description: Last year, Salem Maritime embarked on an effort to reinvigorate and broaden the site's interpretation by including more African/African-American history and slavery at the site. We are recommitted to historical research, education, and interpretation in order to foster robust, place-based visitor engagement with a more inclusive history and interpretation of slavery and "gradual emancipation."
