Join Annapolis Maritime Museum for their 6th lecture of the 2021 Winter Lecture Series, featuring speaker Dr. William Cogar.

In September 1781, a battle between the British and French navies at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay resulted in what few contemporaries could contemplate: the event that would spell the end of the American Revolution and independence for the American colonies. While most Americans, then and now, see the battle as a part of their conflict with Britain, it was in fact an event that reflected global politics rather than regional ones. Join us as we step back in time to learn more about this important moment in our history.
