December Seminar & Dinner

Join us for an exciting tale of maritime history as John L. Busch recounts the history of the Savannah, the first trans-Atlantic steamship. The Savannah is a true slice of Americana having been designed and built in New York. The captain was proud of the ship but the crew, unimpressed by the political intrigue and innovative engineering that surrounded its design and construction, dubbed the Savannah "The Steam Coffin." Come hear who was right.

We meet at Katrinella's Bistro, Tuesday December 6th, at 5:30PM. Katrinella's is located in downtown Albany at 123-1/2 Madison Avenue.
