HUDSON — The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Hudson Area Library and the Columbia County Historical Society, are working collaboratively to address a ground-breaking, first-time-ever project on whaling. Free programs will be held on April 26 and May 31 at the Historic Robert Jenkins House, 113 Warren St., Hudson.
Reservations are recommended, please make reservations by April 24 by calling 518-828-9764. Without whaling, there would be no “Hudson Miracle” that began in 1783 with Nantucket merchants and whalers. This story covers the peak era of Hudson’s whaling--1783-1829 and more.
The story needs to be told and shared with the Hudson community. Few are familiar with this “Hudson Miracle.” Women’s roles during whaling have not been explored.
How women lived, adapted, survived, and thrived in this era will be brought to life at the country’s 250th birthday. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.
