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. \n\n\n\n\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. \n\n\nWhile admission is free space is limited; registration is strongly encouraged. \nThis program is part of the Conflict & Community: Salem\, Essex County\, and the American Revolution lecture series. This series is a partnership between Essex Heritage and Salem Maritime National Historical Park and highlights the unique role of Essex County communities during the American Revolution.

SUMMARY:“American Admiralty Law in Salem and Boston\, 1800–1840”
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.

SUMMARY:1926: A Year in the Life of Hammond and His Castle
DESCRIPTION:Evening program:\n5:30 pm – 6:00 pm Networking\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm Presentation & Discussion \nLight refreshments will be served. \nOne hundred years ago\, John Hays Hammond Jr. embarked on one of the most ambitious projects of his life: building Hammond Castle Museum. But why construct a brand new medieval-inspired castle after already transforming his previous home into a castle-like residence? And why was Hammond absent during the first year of construction\, entrusting oversight of the project to one of the Hammond Research Laboratory’s engineers? \nJoin us as Collections Director Beth Welin takes us on a fascinating look back at 1926 as we explore the personal\, professional\, and historical events that shaped Hammond’s life during this pivotal year. Discover how construction of his extraordinary home and laboratory unfolded\, the people who helped bring his vision to life\, and the remarkable story behind one of Cape Ann’s most iconic landmarks. \nMuseum members and VIP guests enjoy complimentary admission.\nA $15 fee applies to the general public. \nReservations are required. Space is limited.
