How a real Mass. whale ship sailed off the map into a harrowing Pacific survival saga (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 1830s, the Massachusetts coastline was a forest of masts, and the whale ships leaving ports like New Bedford and Salem were more than just vessels. They were the high-stakes venture capital of their day. In Eric Jay Dolin's latest maritime epic, "The Wreck of the Mentor," we follow a New Bedford ship that sailed right off the edge of the known world. What started as a standard whale oil seeking voyage ended in a harrowing survival story. Carrie Healy, NEPM: Now, it's easy to think of the

The story begins with a mysterious object connected to an ancient civilization but unfolds in a landscape that may feel surprisingly familiar to New England readers.

How WMass voices shaped pianist Lara Downes' traveling 'Declaration Quilt' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Pianist Lara Downes has spent the last two years on the road asking everyday Americans a deceptively simple question: "What does life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness actually mean to you today?" as part of 'The Declaration Project' a national effort to capture the country's spirit as we mark the nation's 250th anniversary. This weekend, she's bringing those voices to MASS MoCA in North Adams. Carrie Healy, NEPM: You've been road tripping across the country, asking people if they're still o
