TISE The Mariners’ Museum and Park October 3; 7 p.m. On a trip to London in 1588, renowned engraver Theodore de Bry met artist John White and mathematician Thomas Harriot, both recently returned from Sir Walter Raleigh’s mission to explore the “new found land of Virginia.” Inspired by White’s watercolors of North American Indians and Harriot’s maps of the Carolina coast’s barrier islands, de Bry published Grand Voyages, a series of exploration narratives illustrated with his own copper plate engravings. De Bry invited many European artists to hand-color the engravings that essentially became America’s first coloring books. Never before have these “complete plates” been published in one exquisite, oversized volume, co-authored by Larry E. Tise. Tise, now a Philadelphia-based historian, spent the last decade traveling across Europe and America, examining all known and accessible copies of de Bry’s books in libraries, museums (including The Mariners’ Museum), and private collections. Tise holds a PhD from the University of North Carolina, and was a history administrator for many years. 100 Museum Drive, 757-596-8175. Click here for more information. GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS Ferguson Center for the Arts October 3; 7:30 p.m. It’s that moment when the house lights go down and the audience erupts: a drumbeat punches through the darkness, and the stage lights – almost blindingly bright at first – reveal a killer band ready to unleash a catalog of classic hits like none other. That familiar snarl of a slide guitar rips open the room, and you know you’re about to experience a bad-to-the-bone icon at his very best. 1 Avenue of the Arts, 757-594-8752.

OCTOBER 4TH CIVIL WAR ROUNDTABLE: CONFEDERATE DEFENSES OF HAMPTON ROADS The Mariners’ Museum and Park October 4; 12:30 p.m. Visit the Museum on Friday afternoon to enjoy lunch in the Mariners’ Park Café and stimulating Civil War discussion with renowned historian, John Quarstein. There is no charge to participate. Lunch will be available for purchase at the café! When Virginia left the Union on April 17, 1861, Major Gen. Walter Gwynn was assigned to construct fortifications designed to defend South Hampton Roads against Union naval attack. War of 1812 fortifications on Craney Island were immediately improved and other batteries were constructed at Sewell’s Point and Hospital Point. Defenses at Pig Point helped to defend the Nansemond River, and on Burwell’s Bay, Forts Boykin and Huger were expanded. When all of these fortifications were added to Major Gen. John Bankhead Magruder’s Peninsula defensive systems, the Federals at Fort Monroe, Rip Raps, and Newport News Point were virtually surrounded. Only access from the Chesapeake Bay enabled the Federals to maintain their outposts in Hampton Roads during the war’s first year. 100 Museum Drive, 757-596-8175. Click here for more information. TAKING LEAVE Peninsula Community Theatre October 4; 8 p.m. In the middle of the night, Eliot Pryne, professor of English Literature—specialty Shakespeare— is packing what he thinks is a suitcase and leaving what he thinks is a hotel. In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, he is "taking leave" of the real world and imagining a new one. Filled with the often farcical behavior that goes along with this disease, and decorated with "good talk" from the literate professor and his daughters, this play had packed houses at the Denver Center laughing, weeping and finally standing and cheering. As the alarming number of Alzheimer's victims keeps growing, this play's relevance increases daily. Performed by special arrangement with Dramatic Play Services. 10251 Warwick Boulevard, 757-595-5728. Click here for more information.

MILESTONES IN EARLY SUBMARINE DEVELOPMENT The Mariners’ Museum and Park October 5; 10:30 a.m. & 12:30 p.m. Presented by Liz Williams, Collections Management Technician. Lecture begins at 10:30 AM & 2:30 PM. Free with Museum admission, but seating is limited. Come hear about the intriguing existence of submarines throughout the centuries from Liz Williams, the Museum’s Collections Management Technician. Regarded as part of the “Silent Service” by the American public, the long history of submarines is often hidden below the waves with the subs themselves. The development and improvements that brought these vessels through to modern times have often come out of necessity or lessons learned from emergencies. Through this lecture, we’ll discuss several key submarines that helped change the design, safety, and capabilities of American submarines.100 Museum Drive, 757-596-8175.

RICHMOND BALLET: “CARMINA BURANA” Ferguson Center for the Arts October 5; 8 p.m. Originally choreographed in 1959 for New York City Opera, John Butler’s powerful, impassioned masterwork uses the full breadth of Carl Orff’s choral score to explore the melding of classical ballet’s structure with the earthiness of contemporary dance. As the score progresses and changes, so too does the character of this groundbreaking work. Butler’s steps seem intimately tied to the extremes of human emotion, as expressed through movement: rapture and release, torture, and true love, all that may succumb to an overwhelming fear of our own morality.

  • THE PRICE of BONDAGE: SLAVERY, SLAVE VALUATION, and ECONOMICS in the ALBEMARLE by Jacob T. Parks April 2018 Director of Thesis
    THE PRICE OF BONDAGE: SLAVERY, SLAVE VALUATION, AND ECONOMICS IN THE ALBEMARLE By Jacob T. Parks April 2018 Director of Thesis: Donald H. Parkerson Major Department: History This thesis examines the economics of antebellum slavery in the Albemarle region of North Carolina. Located in the northeastern corner of the Carolina colony, the Albemarle was a harsh location for settlement and thus, inhabitants settled relatively late by Virginians moving south in search of better opportunities. This thesis finds that examination of a region’s slave economics not only conformed to, but also departed from, the larger slave experience in antebellum America. The introduction of this thesis focuses on the literature surrounding slave economics and valuation in antebellum America. After this, the main body of the thesis follows. Chapter one focuses on the various avenues slaves became property of white men and women in the Albemarle. This reveals that the county courts were intrinsically involved in allowing slave sales to occur, in addition to loop-holes slave owners utilized to retain chattel slavery cheaply. Additionally, this chapter pays special attention to slave valuation and statistical analysis. The following chapters revolve around the topics of: the miscellaneous costs associated with slavery in the Albemarle, such as healthcare, food, and clothing; insuring the lives of slaves and hiring them out for work away from their master; and examination of runaway slave rewards in statistical terms, while also creating a narrative of the enslaved and their actions.

Hasenbank Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering on May 15, 2020, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Naval Engineer and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Abstract Protecting a coastline from the damage of a storm surge, or tidal flooding associ- ated with sea level rise, is a challenging and costly engineering endeavor. Low lying properties located directly on an ocean coastline are limited in protective solutions to include constructing shoreline barriers, increasing building elevations, or relocation. However, shoreline properties on an estuary are afforded the additional protective option of a dynamic sea barrier spanning the mouth of the bay or river. The Delta Works projects in the Netherlands pioneered the design and construc- tion of large scale dynamic sea barriers. Although similar projects have been built or proposed, the high costs have minimized wide spread implementation.

Historical Information: The original light was built in 1833 was only 45 feet tall and was not sufficient for coastal needs so in 1859 Congress appropriated funds to build a higher, more effective tower. Work began in 1860 but was suspended during the Civil War. The current structure was completed and lit in 1867. The keeper's quarters built in 1867was a duplex. In 1892 it was remodeled with three large sections of six rooms each to house three families with each section including a pantry, kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms, bathroom, and large closet.
