Join us for the inaugural public presentation of “SULTANA – A Geographic History.” In this dynamic presentation the Sultana Education Foundation’s Chris Cerino will lead you through the history of the 1768 Royal Navy Schooner SULTANA, as she traveled the Atlantic Coastline between 1768 and 1772 enforcing the hated British “Tea Taxes.” Particular focus will be given to SULTANA’s travels on the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, including the schooner’s visit to George Washington’s Mount Vernon where her Captain, John Inglis, dined with the future President. This presentation takes advantage of the Sultana Education Foundation’s innovative Swain GIS Theatre, which projects images and animations on a 1,000 square-foot, high-resolution map of the Chesapeake Bay and MidAtlantic. The presentation is limited to 75 participants on a first-come-first-served basis.
