SUMMARY:"By the First Ship from Salem:" The Voyage of the Schooner Quero\, April 28\, 1775.
DESCRIPTION:Salem Maritime National Historic Site is telling the story of a key but lesser-known voyage across the Atlantic Ocean 250 years ago to deliver news of rebellion in Massachusetts. In April 1775\, after the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, the race was on to control the narrative of the rebellion. Leaving from Derby Wharf onboard the schooner “Quero\,” Salem patriot Captain John Derby and his crew set sail for England on April 28th\, 1775. Onboard the ship were written accounts of the battle and sworn affidavits by participants. They aimed to beat the British ship “Sukey\,” which was carrying the British military report of the battles back to England. Despite the “Sukey” leaving four days earlier\, the nimble “Quero” arrived almost two weeks before the British vessel. The written accounts from the “Quero” were delivered to London\, where they were quickly disseminated throughout England.\n\n\nTo commemorate the 250th anniversary of the voyage of the “Quero\,” Salem Maritime National Historic Site is hosting a FREE EVENT at 7 pm on Monday\, April 28\, at the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center (2 New Liberty Street). Titled “By the First Ship from Salem: The Voyage of the Schooner Quero\,” curator Dr. Emily Murphy will highlight the historical significance of this race across the Atlantic. Living history practitioners will read the original accounts from the “Quero” and the “Sukey.” Join us as we explore the tumultuous start of the American Revolution and how the news spread in 1775.\n\n\n\n\nNo reservations are required.

SUMMARY:"Tea’s Party: From Boston to Salem and Back Again" with Historian James Fichter
DESCRIPTION:Join historian James Fichter for “Tea’s Party: From Boston to Salem and Back Again” a special talk on the history of tea in colonial Massachusetts Bay. This free talk with be hosted at the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center (2 New Liberty Street\, Salem) on Thursday\, May 13 at 7 p.m. \nIn this talk Fichter reveals that despite the so-called Boston Tea Party of 1773\, large shipments of tea from the East India Company were sold in North America\, one of them in Boston! The survival of the Boston tea shaped Massachusetts politics in 1774\, impeded efforts to reimburse the Company for its losses in Boston Harbor\, and hinted at the enduring conflict between consumer demand and revolutionary boycotts. That tension was not confined to Boston. As General Gage and the colonial government relocated to Salem in the summer of 1774\, Essex County residents found committing to a boycott just as difficult as Bostonians had. \nJames Fichter is an historian and Associate Professor in Global and Area Studies at the University of Hong Kong\, where he teaches on maritime history and the revolutionary Atlantic. He is also the author of So Great a Profit: How the East Indies Transformed Anglo-American Capitalism (Harvard\, 2010) which examines Salem’s trade to China. He received his Ph.D. in history from Harvard in 2006.
