Young local historian Joshua Thomson is aiming to bring the past to life with a video trilogy called A Maritime Tale. Thomson tells CHSJ News his project aims to put a human face on the stories of Saint John's past by chronicling the fictional story of young boy named Liam, his dog Murphy, and his parents through the end of the nineteenth century in Saint John.
Local historian Harold Wright has contributed to the project, as has artist Carol Vatour. The final installment of A Maritime Tale will be launched at the Saint John Free Public Library on June 20th, which is also the 136th anniversary of the Great Fire. Check out part one of the video trilogy here:
