Preble Hall - A podcast by U.S. Naval Academy Museum, Dr. Stephen Phillips - Sundays
Abby talks to Dr. Jason Smith about his work studying naval science, particularly the science of hydrography, in the nineteenth-century American navy. We also talk about how to properly contextualize people like Matthew Fontaine Maury, the Father of Oceanography who also held pro-slavery views and supported the Confederacy.
