The Museum of the Albemarle will hold its monthly History for Lunch program on Wednesday, June 18 at noon in the Gaither Auditorium featuring author James D. Charlet.

Charlet’s presentation chronicles the extraordinary men of the U.S. Life-Saving Service who “dared to challenge the lethal waters known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic,” noted the program announcement from MOA. “Through meticulously researched accounts and firsthand knowledge, Charlet will bring to life the heart-stopping rescues, tragic failures, and enduring mysteries that have shaped the legendary reputation of the Outer Banks.”

The Museum will offer the History for Lunch program in person and through Zoom. To attend the lecture virtually, register in advance at bit.ly/3Sptb0b to receive the meeting link. Registration is not required to attend the lecture in person. The virtual program is supported by Friends of the Museum of the Albemarle.
