A very interesting presentation at the New Bedford Whaling Museum on Tuesday evening for those in the area.

Commander Andrew J. Norris, USCG, will examine modern piracy in the next Sailors’ Series lecture on Tuesday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Cook Memorial Theater, New Bedford Whaling Museum.

In his presentation CDR Norris will include statistics on piracy, problem areas, the international response and the U.S. response, and
review self-defense rules that apply to U.S.-flag merchant vessels.
