There is at least one nine-letter word to be found. 20 = Average; 30 = Good; 45 = Amazing! Answers on page 8 During his recent trip to Massachusetts and New York (both the state and the city), our Hon. Secretary Stephen Howarth was delighted to be able to meet with various 1805 Club members, starting with Angela Plowden-Wardlaw (top left) (member since 2006, assistant director of stewardship at Rockefeller University) at her country home in Cooperstown. Boston Harbor (bottom) was the scene for lunch with Clint Garrett (member since 2022, and mate in Rhode Island's flagship, the Tall Ship OLIVER HAZARD PERRY(https://www. ohpri.org), Jessica Turgoose (member since 2021, artist, featured in KA #57) and Jennifer Newbold (member since 2019, historical novelist and assistant editor of the TD and KA). New York City, on the eve of Independence Day, brought a reunion with Ellen Price (top right) (member since 2000, independent fine art professional). These were very happy lively meetings in every case – as usual, when 1805 Club members get together. MINI-TOUR OF MASSACHUSETTS AND NYC On 21 and 22 September 2023, the History Department of the US Naval Academy will host the McMullen Biannual Naval History Symposium in the historic state capital, Annapolis, Maryland. The event highlights the latest research on naval and maritime history from academics and practitioners all over the globe. Held since 1973, the symposium has been described as the ‘largest regular meeting of naval historians in the world’ and the US Navy’s ‘single most important interaction with an academic historical audience’. The Agenda includes an opening plenary session, panel presentations throughout the day (on multiple tracks), a Naval History Luncheon, a reception at the US Naval Academy Museum, and the McMullen Seapower Address. Andrew Lambert will be a featured speaker. A number of 1805 Club members attend each year and the Club will be sponsoring two panels with three presenters each!

Evan Wilson: How Royal Navy Officers Studied Abroad. Abby Mullen: How the US Navy borrowed from RN Orders and Regulations. Kevin McCranie: The Value of Naval History for Historical Decision-making.
