12 of you will be treated to a priceless 2 hour cruise on the iconic Aphrodite while enjoying wine, beer, and hors d' oeuvres.

Once the pride of the Gold Coast commuter boats that whisked financiers from their Long Island homes to their Wall Street offices in the 1930s, Aphrodite, one of the most easily recognized boats on the water, is now the pride of Watch Hill, having been totally restored back to her former glory.

Even in its original incarnation, Aphrodite was never just another pretty commuter boat. It was commissioned by John Hay "Jock" Whitney in 1937 from the Purdy Boat Company in Port Washington, on the north shore of Long Island. Purdy-built Aphrodite to go fast, with twin 1,500-hp Packard airplane engines. It also was arguably the prettiest commuter boat on the water, with its signature torpedo stern, long, low, black profile, and gleaming mahogany.

During the Second World War, Whitney gave the boat to the Navy, which used it to carry dignitaries (including President Roosevelt) up and down the East Coast. After the war, when Whitney was the publisher of The New York Herald Tribune, he sent Aphrodite every morning from his then summer home on Fishers Island to New London to pick up the morning papers. He also entertained on the boat, with a guest list running from Fred Astaire and Spencer Tracy to Shirley Temple. In the '60s Whitney donated Aphrodite to charity, and it eventually went through several owners and various states of disrepair.

In 2003, Chuck Royce, of Royce Mutual Funds, found Aphrodite languishing in Florida and brought it up to the Brooklin Boatyard in Maine for a total, two-year restoration. The boat now is moored in Watch Hill, near the Ocean House, which Royce also restored.

Dates must be mutually agreeable, preference to be used June 2022 or September 2022. Subject to availability.

Take home this cannonball from the War of 1812 era for an entire year -- a truly priceless item!

This cannonball was recovered in Stonington and weighs about 18 pounds. It is believed to have been shot during the Battle of Stonington in 1814, but dating iron this old can be tricky; so it is possible that this cannonball is older than that! You can display this stunning conversation piece in your home or office. The cannons used to defend Stonington during the War of 1812 - and now on display in Cannon Square - are 18 pounders. They were a popular defense cannon against naval warfare since they were mostly stationary and had a long range of accuracy for the time period (up to one mile!). 18 pounds refers to the weight of the ball; but also to the size or caliber of the cannons themselves. Typically; the powder charge used to fire the shot was about 1/3 as much as the shot itself; meaning these 18-pound cannonballs were fired with 6 pounds of gunpowder.

As a memento of your stewardship of the cannonball for a year, you will also receive a copy of "The Rockets' Red Glare" by Glenn Gordinier. This cannonball must be returned to the Stonington Historical Society by May 15, 2022, with the case. The cannonball cannot be removed from the case.

Boost performance of transplants, trees, and shrubs with this ArborKelp treatment from SavATree - the exclusive providers of ArborKelp. You will also receive a professional assessment of your landscape by a Certified Arborist.

Your favorite specimen tree or shrubs will be treated with SavATree's exclusive sea kelp-based biostimulant (a 100-gallon ArborKelp treatment). Includes a professional consultation on the health, safety, and aesthetics of your trees, shrubs, and lawn.

ArborKelp is an organic compound that improves soil structure and augments soil microbial activity which is essential for nutrient absorption by the roots. Specifically, it increases cell wall permeability, increases translocation of water, stimulates cell division and elongation, and promotes chlorophyll production. In turn, the specimens on your landscape will benefit from ArborKelp in a variety of ways including increased survival rates for new plantings and an increased ability to tolerate and recover from stresses for all plantings.

Your $2,500 donation will support the Stonington Historical Society's exhibition program. Exhibitions at the Lighthouse Museum, the Woolworth Library, and the Captain Palmer House are seen by thousands of people every year. Donations to our exhibition program will allow us to expand on current exhibitions, shine the spotlight on underrepresented stories in our museums, and launch seasonal exhibitions that will attract new visitors and local residents alike.

Your donation of $1,000 will support the preservation of our historic structures. As the guardians of the Lighthouse Museum, the Captain Palmer House, the bank, and the Arcade, funds are always needed to support the care and keeping of these pillars of our community. Preserving these structures preserves our Stonington story.

A donation of $500 will help underwrite the Historical Society's school education program. History education is incredibly important for young people, as it fosters critical thinking skills, cultivates a connection t0 our collective community, and helps students develop empathy. Funds will allow us to expand our existing school programs at Stonington High School and other schools, create lesson plans, and expand our outreach in the education system.

A $250 gift will help the Historical Society make our knowledge and collection accessible to everyone, everywhere online. The COVID-19 pandemic has made every institution rethink how we share our stories, including us. With these funds, we can digitize archival materials, create new online exhibitions, and write new blog posts about the stories we preserve.

Your gift of $100 will help support the many programs put on every month by the Historical Society. We host everything from lectures on Stonington's history to to pop-ups like the Rosalie Thorne McKenna Community Photo Exhibition. Programs are a great way to engage our neighbors with our mission.
