Waves of Discovery: 18th and 19th Century Seafaring Science
By Newport Historical Society

Excellence in maritime navigation quickly became essential to the economic success of Newport’s early European settlers. The instruments and volumes showcased in this exhibit demonstrate how Newport’s seafaring residents navigated the tumultuous voyages back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean.

This exhibit will be on view at the Richard I. Burnham Resource Center weekdays from 9-3, through May 4, 2024.
