"In the Wake of Longitude: An Evening with Dava Sobel"    

Date:     September 24 • 6:30 p.m. 

Location: Jamestown Settlement 

"The first English settlers arrived in Jamestown aboard ships that braved the Atlantic crossing with only rudimentary navigational tools. A century and a half would pass before their countryman, John Harrison, invented the marine clocks that transformed the art of wayfinding at sea.  Science writer Dava Sobel told Harrison’s story in "Longitude," an unlikely 1995 New York Times bestseller."

On September 24th at 6:30 p.m., Dava Sobel will be telling John Harrison's story of how he changed navigation with his invention of the chronometer.  It should be an interesting talk.  Information and tickets can be found at In the Wake of Longitude: An Evening with Dava Sobel | Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, VA
