Bristol, Rhode Island, USA – In recognition of this year’s 32nd contest for the America’s Cup, yachting’s oldest international prize, the Herreshoff Marine Museum is proud to present a series of lectures celebrating the people, technology and excitement of this seminal yachting event. The final lecture of this series is the annual Carlton J. Pinheiro Lecture.

On Thursday, October 18 at 7 pm, noted author and historian John Rousmaniere will present the 2007 Carlton J. Pinheiro Lecture: 'Always New: How the America’s Cup Never Stops Reinventing Itself (And Why We Should Approve)'. Rousmaniere is the author of numerous books on yachting including several histories of the America’s Cup, among them The Low Black Schooner, a history of the yacht AMERICA, winner of the first 'America’s Cup' race in 1851. He was a commentator at this year’s Cup races in Valencia Spain.

The talk will be held in the Herreshoff Marine Museum’s Hall of Boats, located at One Burnside St., Bristol, R.I. A reception will follow. The charge is $5.00 for Museum members and students and $10.00 for visitors. Reservations are suggested for this event. Call Teri Souto at 253-5000, email t.souto@herreshoff.org.

For more information contact Teri Souto at (401)-253-5000, or visit the Museum website www.herreshoff.org.

The Carlton J. Pinheiro Lecture Series was established in memory of Carlton J. Pinheiro, late Curator of the Herreshoff Marin Museum.
