“To Drive a Great Trade for Bilbao:" Rediscovering New England’s Iberian Ties, 1640s-c.1830

Hosted by Salem State University’s History Department and presented in conjunction with the Marblehead Museum’s ongoing exhibition Bilbao Bound, this symposium brings together an international group of historians and curators to examine this largely forgotten aspect of New England's early history.

In light of the ongoing 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, special attention will be given to the role that trading connections between Boston's North Shore and the Spanish Basque port of Bilbao played in opening the door for Spanish Crown support for the American Revolution.
