    Default An Artifact and two Virtual Lectures

    Here is the latest from the USS Constitution Museum:

    1) Museum Public Historian Carl Herzog (you may have watched some of his Historian at Home YouTube videos I have posted here) will be giving an Historian Live! talk on December 18 at 1PM Eastern Time on several documentary artifacts from the museum's collection showing, examining, and discussing Lt. Peter Turner's Watch, Quarter, and Station Bills from his service on Old Ironsides.
    Here is the link for the Constitution's facebook page where the event will take place:

    2) AND speaking of Prof. Herzog, his latest "Historian at Home" video on YouTube discusses the Constitution Museum's Pearl Harbor connections:

    3) Here is a photo of an artifact and information from the museum's collections regarding Purser Thomas Chew's stays (a male corset) -- I hesitate to wonder how many site members (including myself) could use a set of stays:

    Enjoy!

    Very interesting stuff as usual Bill.
    I don't think even that corset could do a lot for my girth these days!

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
