Code Flag Lima Project No. 6: Herreshoff Content for the Quarantined! Welcome to CFLP6! Today's selection includes the April 14, 1903 edition of the Phoenix with coverage of an auspicious launching, Kent Lewis' terrific lecture on the Curtiss NC flying boat #4 - better known as NC-4 - on the centennial of its pioneering transatlantic flight in 1919, and more from the 28 Burnside crew on the building of the replica of #199. We're also bringing you an update on some cool maritime conservation activities that are happening here in our backyard AND a free digital issue of WoodenBoat Magazine! It would be awesome if the "cover girl" were a Herreshoff, but DORADE is a pretty worthy alternative! During these crazy times, the Museum really needs your support. We've challenged ourselves to grow our membership with new digital initiatives like this that can bring the museum to our community, so please help us achieve that goal by taking a minute to renew, join or donate now. If you would prefer to opt-out of this twice weekly email, but stay on the Museum's general mailing list, click here. You can always view the Code Flag Lima Project content on your own time at our website. View the Lima Page
