The St George’s Foundation is hosting what promises to be a fascinating lecture by Beau Evans on Wednesday, February 26. The First American War on Slavery follows the exploits of Captain Stephen Decatur after his loss of the USS President, which was captured by the British and towed to Bermuda in January 1815. It was during this action that Midshipman Richard Sutherland Dale was wounded and died shortly thereafter in St George’s, becoming the last casualty of the War of 1812. The lecture will be held at The World Heritage Centre on Penno’s Wharf. Wine will be on sale from 6pm and the lecture itself will start at 6.30pm. Admission is $10. For more information, contact membership@stgeorgesfoundation.org.
