  Though women in the Victorian era usually suffered severe restrictions on what society thought were proper roles for them, the mold was occasionally broken and their talents shined through. Join park rangers for this table talk demonstration and explore the art of celestial navigation and the experiences of two exceptional women, Eleanor Creesy and Mary Patten, on board the famous American clipper ships Flying Cloud and Neptune’s Car. Wheelchair accessible.
