Capturing a sperm whale. Whaleship Superior, 1835 aquatint engraving by William Page from an original painting by Cornelius Hulsart.
The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the DAR and the library offer a local history talk by Carl Whitbeck. This talk is motivated by the three-day visit of the Descendants of Whaling Masters to Hudson and especially to the DAR chapter’s Historic Robert Jenkins House, as part of the Descendants’ annual conference.
Mr. Whitbeck, a local resident whose family has deep roots in the area, will be displaying and discussing items from his own extensive local history collection.
Date/time: Thursday, September 14, 6pm
Location: In person, Hudson Area Library Community Room
