Mid Summer in the Five Points, Manhattan, September 19, 1873, Collection of the New York Public Library

Join us on Friday, February 26 at 7 PM for “The Oysterman of Captain’s Row,” a virtual lecture by historian Patricia Salmon. One stretch of Richmond Terrace, historically known as the Shore Road, was referred to as “Captain’s Row” owing to the many ship captains who purchased or built fine homes along the thoroughfare. This program will analyze their lives and livelihoods, as well as the local oyster industry which provided their income.

This lecture is the sixth in our Noble on Watch (NOW) series and will premiere on the museum’s Facebook page or here on the website.
