 s.alexandriava.gov/CalendarTest/Detail.aspx?si=49009\n\nBetween 2015-2018\
 , construction crews excavating along the Alexandria waterfront revealed t
 he broken remains of four 18th-century wooden ships in what was once the s
 horeline of the Potomac River. To study them\, each ship was disarticulate
 d and the individual timbers were laser scanned\, allowing researchers to 
 virtually reassemble the ships and develop theoretical reconstructions of 
 how they would have looked when they were in use. These highly accurate di
 gital timber models were 3D printed and assembled by a master ship model m
 aker\, further informing these reconstructions. The four ships are now on 
 two different preservation journeys. The Hotel Indigo ship was sent to the
  Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for conservation
  by freeze drying\, and the three Robinson Landing ships were submerged in
  a pond at Ben Brenman Park this spring. Hear the latest findings and disc
 over what was learned through digitally reconstructing the four ships.  \n
 \nChristopher Dostal is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Anth
 ropology's Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University\, where he
  is also the Director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservat
 ion\, the Conservation Research Laboratory\, and the Director of the Analy
 tical Archaeology Laboratory in charge of scanning the four 18th century s
 hips excavated in Alexandria. He holds his degrees from Texas A&M Universi
 ty (Ph.D.)\, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research and w
 ork includes historical maritime archaeology of North America and Western 
 Europe\, the conservation and long-term preservation of waterlogged archae
 ological artifacts\, preservation and documentation techniques for underwa
 ter archaeological sites\, X-ray fluorescence elemental analysis of archae
 ological artifacts\, and digital imaging and 3D modeling of archaeological

 urator emeritus of Home and Community Life at the National Museum of Ameri
 can History\, Smithsonian Institution\, shares the story of Afong Moy's tr
 avels in Virginia\, the District of Columbia\, and Maryland. In November 1
 849\, Afong Moy\, dubbed "The Chinese Lady\," appeared at Lyceum Hall in A
 lexandria\, Virginia\, during a tour of the mid-Atlantic states. She had c
 ome to New York in 1834 and was the first recognized Chinese woman to arri
 ve in America. For 17 years\, she travelled across the country\, becoming 
 the first Chinese person to receive wide public acclaim and national recog
 nition. In the later 1830s and 40s\, and by the time she appeared in Alexa
 ndria\, Afong Moy had made a transition from a promoter of goods to that o
 f spectacle. Tickets are $10 to attend in person and $6 to watch the lectu

 C.'s Black community is barely visible to the modern-day visitor. Fort Ren
 o was a bustling neighborhood in which men\, women\, and children lived\, 
 died\, loved\, worked\, worshipped\, and played. Brian Taylor (author of F
 ighting for Citizenship [UNC Press\, 2020])\, Miriam Gusevich (Catholic Un
 iversity) and Martin Paddack (Howard University) will share their work on 
 the history of the Fort Reno neighborhood and their efforts to bring this 
 history to the public. It builds on Brian Taylor's "On the Fort": The Fort
  Reno Community of Washington\, D.C.\, 1861-1951\, the official National P

 and Paddack's work in the field of architecture.\n\nAt this time\, capacit

 th Revealed: The 1837 Case of Dorcas Allen\," Dr. Alison Mann will discuss
  a traumatic event that occurred at 1315 Duke Street in 1837 and its legal
  implications and aftermath that was the basis of her 2010 doctoral disser
 tation. In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her f
 our children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He t
 ransported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her
  two youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In Octo
 ber\, she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not
  guilty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent wh
 ite men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney
  Francis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of
  African American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an en
 slaved mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage.
  Dr. Alison Mann serves as the Historian at the National Museum of America

 FreelandBuck will speak about the artist team's public artwork Tunnel Visi
 on realized for the new WMATA (or Metro) office building in Alexandria\, V
 A that officially opened last fall.\n\nSuspended from the ceiling and posi
 tioned in the southwest corner of the building's lobby\, Tunnel Vision can
  be experienced from the lobby\, the street\, and the adjacent plaza. From
  each of these viewpoints\, the artwork alludes to the Metro stations in d
 ramatically different ways: from the side as a convex object that loosely 
 evokes the coffered stations and Metro's gridded logo\, and from below as 
 a concave volume making the station clearly visible and emphasizing its dr
 amatic one-point perspective.\n\nThe event is jointly hosted by the Washin
 gton Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)'s Art in Transit Program 
 and the City of Alexandria's Office of the Arts.\n\nLocation: WMATA Office
 s @ 2401 Mill Road\, Alexandria\, VA 22314\n\nAbout FreelandBuck:\n\nFreel
