This beautiful coffee table book is expected to be available in June, so watch for more information about a book launch event. Congratulations to Richard on this historical publication and your dedication to the East Hampton and its history! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maria Vann, Executive Director, was selected to present her historical research this fall at The Hakluyt Society Symposium 2019: Rethinking Power in Maritime Encounters (1400-1900) at the Leiden University, the Netherlands. Maria’s presentation is entitled, “The Bloomer Controlled the Whole of Us:” The Dichotomy of Female Slave Ship Owners and Maritime Women as Agents of Power.
