About this event
Our speaker is Paul Johnston, PhD, retired curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of American History In 1816, the first oceangoing yacht built in the United States left on its maiden voyage from Salem, Massachusetts to the Mediterranean. The $100,000 hermaphrodite brig Cleopatra's Barge was so extraordinary that up to 8,000 visitors a day went aboard. Please register at the more info link.
