SUMMARY:South Street Seaport Museum Family Activity Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Let your creativity fly at the Seaport Museum by making your own signal flag swags. For centuries\, flags were the only form of communication between ships at sea\, and between ships and the shore. In the 19th century\, signaling with special flags developed into a system capable of passing several types of information and relatively elaborate messages. This even became a successful form of communication between crews who didn’t share a common language. Learn more about how sailors communicate using these vibrant flags that feature different patterns\, shapes\, and colors\, while making your own banner that spells out whatever message you like. There will also be opportunities to use your new-found skill by decoding others’ signal flag messages.

SUMMARY:Emily Hahn: The Extraordinary Life and Legacy of a Cross-Cultural Adventurer
DESCRIPTION:Online lecture. Emily Hahn (1905–1997)\, known as Xiang Meili in Chinese\, was a lifelong columnist for The New Yorker and one of the most prolific and adventurous writers of the 20th century. Her fascinating life journey spanned three continents—Africa\, Asia\, and Europe—where she fearlessly delved into diverse cultures and penned over 50 books\, including more than ten focused on China. Works such as Mr. Pan\, The Soong Sisters\, and China to Me became bestsellers in the U.S. during the 1930s and 1940s\, garnering widespread acclaim. Despite her achievements\, Hahn has become an overlooked literary gem in contemporary America. In recent years\, her works have been reintroduced to Chinese audiences\, though much remains to be discovered about her extraordinary life and writings.
