Join us for a presentation by author Stephen Puleo about the USS Jamestown and America’s first humanitarian mission!

In Voyage of Mercy , Stephen Puleo tells the incredible story of the famine, the Jamestown voyage, and the commitment of thousands of ordinary Americans to offer relief to Ireland, a groundswell that provided the collaborative blueprint for future relief efforts, and established the United States as the leader in international aid. The USS Jamestown ’s heroic voyage showed how the ramifications of a single decision can be measured not in days, but in decades.

Co-offered by the American Association of University Women and The Friends of the Flint
