Southbury Public Library: Connecticut's Forgotten Relationship With The High Seas

Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

7/18/2024

On Wednesday, August 7, 2024 from 2:00 - 3:00pm in the Kingsley Room, join us to learn more about the history of Connecitcut’s maritime exploration.

Most of Connecticut’s coastline abuts Long Island Sound. As you venture east, though, the Sound becomes the Atlantic Ocean. Over the centuries, CT sailors have taken to the high seas on some very notable and remarkable journeys. Join us as we explore the stories of maritime history in Connecticut with Mike Allen.

Mike Allen specializes in bringing local history to life, through his background in journalism, radio broadcasting, podcasting and public speaking. Mike is the producer and host of the popular weekly podcast on Connecticut history, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut's Beaten Path.

Like all Southbury Public Library programs, this event is free to attend and open to anyone regardless of town of residency. Registration is required. This program is sponsored by the Charles H. and Ella Emery Rutledge Fund. Please visit the link below for more information and to register.
