About this Event

Join Daniel Finamore, Associate Director–Exhibitions and the Russell W. Knight Curator of Maritime Art and History, for a screening of 76 Days Adrift, the gripping film based on Steve Callahan’s harrowing survival at sea. Hear firsthand from Callahan and Executive Producer Robert Sennott as they discuss the making of the film, the emotional and physical challenges Callahan faced during his 76-day ordeal and the deeper themes of resilience and the human spirit. This intimate Q&A offers a rare opportunity to explore the incredible story behind this extraordinary tale of survival — a story perfectly suited to Salem, a city steeped in maritime history, where the spirit of exploration, endurance and the sea has shaped its rich heritage.

76 Days Adrift is 105 minutes in length.
