  • Caribbean Culture: Houses, History & Hamilton
    Caribbean Culture: Houses, History & Hamilton Round-trip Barbados Aboard Sea Cloud With Reeve Huston, Associate Professor of History at Duke January 24–31, 2020 s Dear Duke Alumni and Friends, The Caribbean region plays a significant, if often overlooked, role in the early history of the United States— not least as the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton and the inspiration for many of his theories about politics, economics, and trade. Uncover the forgotten connections between the Caribbean and 18th-century America on a delightful winter voyage aboard the historic sailing ship Sea Cloud. Explore lush gardens and charming colonial towns, and swim or snorkel from exquisite white-sand beaches. We are pleased that Reeve Huston, Associate Professor of History at Duke, will be traveling with us. Professor Huston’s teaching, thinking, and writing center on U.S. political history and on the history of capitalism, and he is currently working on a book titled, Reforging American Democracy: Political Practices in the United States, 1812-1840. Embark Sea Cloud in Barbados for a seven-night voyage. Cruise to Nevis to visit the house where Alexander Hamilton was born, and stroll through the island’s spectacular botanic garden. On St. Kitts, where Hamilton’s mother lived for several years, see the UNESCO-listed site of a decisive battle in the American Revolution. We will also discover the gardens of Romney Manor, an 18th-century plantation house formerly owned by a direct ancestor of Thomas Jefferson. Take an architectural walking tour on the Dutch island of St. Eustatius, and soak up the je ne sais quoi of Gustavia, capital of St.

Boats came from Annapolis to Maine. Organizers Bill Rothwell, Steve Braver- man, Linda Epstein, and Dave Nelson did a terrific job putting a fun weekend together. Unfortunately the weather on Sat did not cooperate forcing the cancellation of all racing due to winds gusting into the 30’s. Many thanks to CPYC for opening the bowling alleys, pool ta- bles and darts to keep the sailors occupied during the postponements. Sunday brought a beautiful day with lighter winds allowing the race committee to get in 10 races. Thanks go to the many CPYCers who worked the race committee, and lent their boats to the regatta. Racing was extremely close with less than a second between boats at the finish on numerous occasions. The regatta was won by Ted Ferra- rone and Meredith Killon, 2nd Stephen Benjamin and Brooks Davey, 3rd Paul-Jon Patin and Felicity Ryan, 4th Art and Jennifer Rousma- niere, 5th Jim Bowers and Lydia Brown.
