SUMMARY:"Hannah in Context: What Really Happened\, and Why Did it Matter?" Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Captain Michael Rutstein recounts the events leading to the battle between schooner Hannah and HMS Nautilus\, Oct. 1775. \nJoin Captain Michael Rutstein as he covers the events leading up to the famous battle between the armed American schooner Hannah and HMS Nautilus in October 1775. He will walk us step by step through the engagement and wrap up with the repercussions of this event and its impact on the course of the Revolution here on the North Shore. \nMichael Rutstein: After drafting and then reluctantly abandoning a business plan to create a replica of Hannah\, Rutstein commissioned local boatbuilder Harold Burnham to build a representation of the 1812 Salem privateer FAME in 2003. For 23 seasons\, FAME sailed out of Pickering Wharf in Salem to critical and popular acclaim. In April 2026\, FAME was sold to the Liberty Fleet of Tall Ships in Boston. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:"American Admiralty Law in Salem and Boston\, 1800–1840\, and Its Legacy" Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Judge William G. Young explores how Salem and Boston maritime conflicts (1800–1840) shaped early American admiralty law post Revolution. \nLearn about the establishment of American Admiralty Law in Salem and Boston following the American Revolution\, tracing how early 19th-century maritime conflicts in these port cities shaped the development of American jurisprudence. The lecture will examine how disputes over cargo\, salvage\, and prize cases during the period tested and refined the young nation’s legal system. Judge Young will also discuss the pivotal role played by Judge John Davis in establishing practical precedents for handling these cases — precedents that would go on to influence the broader framework of American admiralty law. \nAbout the Speaker: \nThe Honorable William G. Young has served as a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts since 1985\, following eight years on the Massachusetts Superior Court. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School\, he served as a U.S. Army officer before beginning his legal career as law clerk to Chief Justice Raymond S. Wilkins of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. He later practiced law with Bingham\, Dana & Gould and served as Special Assistant Attorney General and Chief Counsel to Governor Francis W. Sargent. An acclaimed teacher of evidence and trial advocacy\, Judge Young has taught at Harvard\, Boston College\, and Boston University. He is also a prolific legal scholar and the author of several influential works on evidence\, trial practice\, and federal jurisprudence. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:"To the Farthest Ports of the Rich East" Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join James Fichter as he discusses profit and peril in the new trade to Asia \nWith independence from Britain secured\, in the 1780s American began trading to Asia for themselves. They bought tea in China. They sailed to the East India Company-administered India for cloth\, to Yemen and Dutch Java for coffee\, to Sumatra for pepper\, and to many other ports in between. The trade to Asia accelerated as the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815) kept European traders out of Asian waters\, creating a tussle between between British and American crews to supply French-occupied Europe with Asian goods. This process created a new class of American investor-capitalists and the first American millionaires. Yet such wealth came at a cost\, as the ever growing and increasingly wealthy American trading fleet was a tempting target for foreign states and pirates—from Britain and France to Barbary and Yemen—against which the U.S. Navy was not always a match. \n  \nPlease register here!
