(Vallejo, California 鈥� January 13, 2017) 鈥� The National Park Service and California
State University Maritime Academy are partnering to present a series of free lectures
for the public in 2017.
The Blue Room Lectures will be presented by professors from Cal Maritime and will
take place in the Maritime Museum at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park
(900 Beach Street, San Francisco, in the Blue Room.) A Q & A period will follow each
talk.
The first event is scheduled for Saturday January, 28 at 1:00 PM. Dr. Amy Parsons
will present Our City is Full of Strangers: Tales from the Seedy Port, a discussion
of the cultural anxiety that surrounded sailors and ports in the mid-nineteenth century.
While readers loved stories of adventure on the high seas, reformers worried that
sailors would ruin the moral character of American coastal cities.
