Event Details
The American Revolution was a conflict fought as much at sea as it was on land. Locally, the waters surrounding Long Island saw a great deal of action including the landing of the British invasion fleet, numerous instances of privateering, whaleboat warfare in the Long Island Sound, British prison ships in Wallabout Bay, and the loss of the H.M.S. Culloden at Montauk, to name a few. Learn about all of this and more as local maritime historian and author, Adam Grohman discusses the fascinating role Long Island’s waters played in our country’s struggle for independence. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
