Co-presented with HORIZON HOUSE. Museum of History and Industry historian Lorraine McConaghy makes this appearance at Horizon House tonight to speak about the U.S. Navy warship Decatur, which served in the Pacific from 1854 until the eve of the Civil War (including a key role in 1856's "Battle of Seattle"). Warship Under Sail: The USS Decatur and the Pacific West (University of Washington Press) is a beautifully-produced, insightfully written chronicle of that sloop and its times. "In Warship Under Sail, McConaghy has found a lens through which to examine anew the founding of Seattle. The vessel participated in the iconic 'Battle of Seattle,' that day-long skirmish in 1856 between 'Natives' and 'non-Natives' that looms so large in historical accounts of the city." – John M. Findlay. Horizon House is at 900 University Street, on Seattle's First Hill. This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
