- **Event Name**: Special Lecture: The Nautical Origins of Everyday Expressions
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Thu, 26 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on Thursday, March 26 at 1:00 PM at Southold Historical Museum’s Maple Lane Campus (55200 Main Road, Southold) for an engaging lecture with author Cynthia Barrett, based on her book Three Sheets to the Wind: The Nautical Origins of Everyday Expressions. 
Barrett explores the seafaring origins of familiar words and phrases—revealing that “filibusters” began with sailors, the first “skyscrapers” were towering ship sails, and “turning a blind eye” traces back to Admiral Nelson’s legendary act of battlefield defiance. She will also share how her own family’s maritime history, from a World War II naval officer father to a whaling great-grandfather from Cold Spring Harbor, inspired her research and writing.
