SUMMARY:Stranger Than Nonfiction: How These Journalists Wrote Novels
DESCRIPTION:If journalism is based on the mission of telling the truth\, what kinds of truths do reporters pursue when they write fiction? Four writers and editors (with Kaitlyn Greenidge\, Delia Cai\, Cora Lewis\, and Kevin Nguyen) across legacy\, digital\, and independent media discuss the tools and perspectives that they bring to their novels — and how they balance the work across two very different forms.

SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.

SUMMARY:The Spies\, Spycraft\, and Intelligence Operations of Greater New York - 250th Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Spies\, espionage\, and intelligence operations during the American Revolution have long captured the public’s imagination\, thanks in part to popular books and television series.

SUMMARY:New York’s Scoundrels\, Scalawags\, and Scrappers: The City in the Last Decade of the Gilded Age
DESCRIPTION:Tireless chronicler of Manhattan’s building history\, John Tauranac finds a new angle on the city’s past in his new book New York’s Scoundrels\, Scalawags\, and Scrappers: The City in the Last Decade of the Gilded Age. Beginning each chapter with a different building of the era\, he delves into the social history on site. As he recounts\, the 1890s\, the tail end of the Gilded Age\, was both a time of great inequality and\, also\, opportunity for those who did not play by the rules. These included “the managements of some businesses and some administrations of the municipality who… gamed the system to their advantage. They are New York’s scoundrels\, scalawags\, and scrappers.” As writer Tony Hiss comments\, “As these meticulously recaptured events unfold chapter by chapter\, an uncanny resemblance between then and now emerges.”

SUMMARY:Whiskey Tasting
DESCRIPTION:It’s not every day that you get to indulge in a whiskey tasting aboard a historical maritime treasure: a National Register-listed 19th century sailing vessel that represents the thousands of ships that docked along New York’s waterfront. Led by Kurt Maitland\, founder of the Manhattan Whiskey Club and Deputy Editor of the Whiskey Reviewer\, the experience will include a tour of Wavertree\, uncovering stories of its global voyages\, restoration efforts\, and life aboard a 19th century cargo ship. The evening will also feature a curated tasting of five maritime-themed whiskeys\, each showcasing unique flavor profiles\, and exploration of whiskey’s ties to maritime culture—including trade routes and smuggling tales.

SUMMARY:Who Is An Ex-Wife?
DESCRIPTION:How much honesty does an ‘honest’ marriage really permit a wife? And once you’re no longer a wife\, can you really start all over again? The anonymous novel of divorce and open marriage that scandalized New York when it was originally published in 1929\, Ursula Parrott’s Ex-Wife is both captivating and bleak in its portrayal of women in the Jazz Age. Iva Dixit and Joumana Khatib discuss this novel of sex\, love\, heartache and divorce\, and its relevance nearly a century later.
