Join the NHA for a special evening lecture with historian Jonathan Olly exploring the myth and reality of New England’s fishing communities. From the romanticized icon of the “old sea salt” to the struggle for representation facing today’s fishermen, Jonathan Olly tells the story of New England’s fishermen and their lasting place in the American imagination.
