A Brief History of Working Waterfronts and Marine Environments in Southeastern CT
Thursday, April 30, 2026 (5:30 PM - 6:30 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join Matthew McKenzie, Professor of History at the University of Connecticut, whose work explores the deep cultural and economic ties between New England communities and the sea, for a compelling look at the evolution of working waterfronts in southeastern Connecticut. Drawing on centuries of maritime history and his research on fisheries and coastal life, McKenzie traces how marine environments have shaped—and been shaped by—human activity over time.
