In 1937, pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart vanished while attempting to fly around the world with navigator Fred Noonan, sparking one of aviation’s greatest and most enduring mysteries. Nearly a century later, archaeologist Dr. Richard Pettigrew is preparing to lead a groundbreaking expedition to Nikumaroro, a remote island in the Pacific. The team’s focus: The “Taraia Object,” a recently identified anomaly that could be a remnant of Earhart’s Lockheed Electra. In this lecture, Dr. Pettigrew will share why this discovery is so compelling, what the expedition will do to investigate it and the challenges the field team expects to face. Join us for a first look at how this journey may finally bring answers to one of history’s greatest enigmas.

Evalyn Walsh McLean, an American mining heiress and socialite, was the famed owner of the 45-carat Hope Diamond — the world’s largest blue diamond when she purchased it in 1911 from Pierre Cartier in Paris. Rumored to carry a curse that brought misfortune to its owners, the diamond accompanied Evalyn everywhere, from White House gatherings to charity events. According to the Smithsonian Institution, where the gem is displayed at the National Museum of Natural History, there is no truth to the legends related to the curse. And yet, Evalyn Walsh McLean’s life was never the same after acquiring the Hope Diamond. Heartbreak and tragedy befell her, impacting every aspect of her life. Was the diamond to blame? Join Carolyn Crouch to explore the origins of the Hope Diamond’s supposed curse and its connection to the extravagant and reckless lifestyle of its larger-than-life owner.
