Saving Slater - a talk at the Troy Public Library
Today, the USS Slater is moored on the Hudson River in Albany, New York, and has undergone an extensive restoration that has returned the ship to her former glory. The Troy Public Library has a museum pass available for checkout that allows patrons to tour this ship for free. This presentation on July 13, 2024, from 10:00 -11:00 a.m., shares the history of USS SLATER and why she was chosen to become the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum. Stories will be shared about the history of Destroyer Escorts, SLATER’S involvement in WWII, her service in the Greek Navy, and her restoration transforming her into a world class museum. Presented by a SLATER volunteer you will get a first-hand look at the hard work that goes into keeping the “Old Girl” afloat. This is an all-ages event; adults, caregivers, and children are all welcome.
This in-person event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. To register, call the library at 518-274-7071 or register online at www.thetroylibrary.org.
The Troy Public Library exists to provide quality service to the residents of the City of Troy in an open and non-judgmental environment with free access to library materials in a variety of formats. The Troy Public Library is located at 100 Second Street, Troy, NY.
