SUMMARY:Revolutionary Harbor Lectures: Seaweeds of Boston Harbor and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Located within the cold waters of the Gulf of Maine\, Boston Harbor hosts a rich diversity of seaweeds\, including dense kelp forests and fields of calcified red algae. These seaweeds are an important component of local marine ecosystems\, but what exactly are these slimy marine organisms and how important are they to the environment in our backyard? We invite you to join Curtis Morris as he dives into the seaweeds that call Boston Harbor\, and the larger Gulf of Maine\, home. \nCurtis Morris is a PhD student in the Byrnes Lab at the University of Massachusetts Boston School for the Environment where he researches kelp forest ecology with an emphasis on exploring the role of seaweeds in Gulf of Maine community ecology. He also works with the Stone Living Lab to study the ecological impact of nature based coastal protection structures. \nAtlantic Wharf (Fort Point Room)\n290 Congress Street\nBoston\, MA 02210 \n****$12 Parking after 6 p.m.**** \nThis program is presented by the National Park Service and Boston Harbor Now as a part of our three-part Revolutionary Harbor lecture series.

SUMMARY:REBELS at SEA: PRIVATEERING in the AMERICAN REVOLUTION Lecture and book signing by Eric Jay Dolin
DESCRIPTION:The best-selling author of Black Flags\, Blue Waters reclaims the daring freelance sailors who proved essential to the winning of the Revolutionary War. \nThe heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before\, yet missing from most maritime histories of America’s first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels\, from 20-foot whaleboats to 40-cannon men-of-war\, that truly revealed the new nation’s character―above all\, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. \nIn Rebels at Sea\, Dolin corrects that significant omission\, and contends that privateers\, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst\, were in fact critical to the Revolution’s outcome. \nArmed with cannons\, swivel guns\, muskets\, and pikes―as well as government documents granting them the right to seize enemy ships―thousands of privateers tormented the British on the broad Atlantic and in bays and harbors on both sides of the ocean. \nAbounding with tales of daring maneuvers and deadly encounters\, Rebels at Sea presents the American Revolution as we have rarely seen it before. \nJOIN US! This event is a collaboration with Andover Bookstore. \nEric Jay Dolin Books will be available at the event at a discounted price
