Please join us for the opening of NHS’ fall exhibit Waves of Discovery: 18th and 19th Century Seafaring Science. Excellence in maritime navigation quickly became essential to the economic success of Newport’s early European settlers. The instruments and volumes showcased in this exhibit demonstrate how Newport’s seafaring residents navigated the tumultuous voyages back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean.

The event will run 5PM-7PM on Friday November 3rd, at the Richard I. Burnham Resource Center [82 Touro Street, Newport]. A complimentary drinks reception will be provided.
