July Fourth, 1862—At Sea
WHENWed, Nov 1811 AM – 11:30 AM
Where: Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial (meet the ranger in the bookstore exhibit area). What was Independence Day like aboard a sailing ship in the middle of the ocean? Join us for the story of six-year-old Sara Delano, future mother of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who spent 128 days at sea traveling to China in 1862. Drawn from a firsthand Roosevelt family journal, this talk reveals a world of tall ships, global voyages, and a Fourth of July celebration complete with cake, ice cream, and cannon fire.
