All Hands: Yankee Whaling, the U.S. Navy, and the Treasury Department

Dyer for "All Hands: Yankee Whaling, the U.S. Navy, and the Treasury Department," an insightful lecture that explores the significant intersections between U.S. whaling and the U.S. Navy. Dyer will discuss how these two sea services, spanning regions from South America to the Indian Ocean and from the Pacific to Siberia and Alaska, contributed to shaping a core American maritime cultural identity globally. This engaging presentation, rooted in the study of three-dimensional objects, fine and decorative arts, and cartography, is free to attend with no registration required. **Please note, there has been an error in the Dighton 250th celebrations save-the-date flier; the event is scheduled for July 9th, not July 11th.**
