Sarah Watkins
Curator
Sarah has been at the Museum for 12 years and wears the hat of Curator. She oversees the management of the collection and research staff. Sarah supervised the research team who spent months looking for references to the sailors who served on board CONSTITUTION. Sarah's fondness for ferreting out primary source material was rewarded when a terrier named Guerriere was discovered! He is the only canine on record, to date, who “served” on the ship during the War of 1812!
