SUMMARY:Lecture: Privateers of the Caribbean: Bermuda and the Bahamas After the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear Ross Nedervelt\, the 2023 Frances E. Malamy Fellow at PEM’s Phillips Library\, present the findings of his research project: “Loyalism\, Privateering\, and American Sovereignty in the Atlantic Border-sea\, 1783-1815.” \nBetween 1783 and 1819\, the newly independent United States fought a series of skirmishes with Britain over control of the islands of Bermuda and the Bahamas. American loyalists and British military occupying the islands created a military and cultural bulwark to defend against the nascent United States\, thwarting the new country’s endeavors to expand its commercial influence into the colonies of the British Caribbean. In the decades following the American Revolution\, the British government remade Bermuda from a commercial hub into the Royal Navy’s staging ground for the assault on Washington\, D.C. during the War of 1812. \nThe Phillips Library Frances E. Malamy Research Fellowship program\, funded by the Malamy family\, awards $5\,500 to one recipient each year to perform independent research for three months at the library located in Rowley\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:History of Old Newbury in 3 Drinks: Part II: RUM 1700-1800
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Caldwell’s Newburyport Rum was produced along the waterfront for 171 years (with a short break during Prohibition)? The rum business boomed in Newbury(port) in the 18th century\, with ships arriving from the West Indies with cargoes of molasses to be distilled into potent\, inexpensive New England rum. \nAnd we drank almost as much as we made – about three pints of rum per adult male per week in the 1770’s\, and British attempts to regulate and tax this beverage helped to stoke the flames of revolution! \nJoin executive director Bethany Dorau for an illustrated talk and tasting on the history of rum in 18th century Newbury(port). Learn the language of punch bowls and check out the bar tab from Newburyport’s Wolfe Tavern on the eve of Revolution. Learn how the production and distribution of rum changed over time\, and how westward expansion signalled the end of the rule of rum. Explore attempts to outlaw “demon rum\,” long before Prohibition\, and head home with recipes for rum cocktails from some of the area’s best bartenders!
