Two remarkable discoveries at Narragansett Town Be Two remarkable discoveries at Narragansett Town Beach have sparked excitement and intrigue among beachgoers and marine scientists alike. Earlier this summer, brothers Oliver and Sebastian Martinez were enjoying a day at the beach when they unearthed a massive, fossilized shark tooth from the sand. Eager to learn more about their find, their parents contacted the Atlantic Shark Institute (ASI). Dr. Josh Moyer, a shark expert and collaborator with the ASI, identified the fossil as a great white shark tooth. The well-preserved specimen was estimated to be at least 10,000 years old and potentially millions of years old. Based on the tooth’s size, Moyer determined the shark it came from was about 15 feet long. Just weeks later, Narragansett Town Beach delivered yet another ancient treasure. South Kingstown resident Carline Shields was taking a morning walk when she spotted what she thought was a rock. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was another fossilized great white shark tooth. “I couldn’t believe it,” Shields said. “I’ve known Jon [Dodd] for years, so I immediately reached out to him.” Jon Dodd, Executive Director of the ASI, said he was shocked to receive a second report. “We’ve never had a call about teeth like this in Rhode Island, and now there are two from the same beach in just a few months. It’s amazing,” he said. Experts confirmed Shields’ discovery as another great white shark tooth, this one belonging to a shark estimated to be 18 to 20 feet long. Like the first, the fossil is believed to be tens of thousands to millions of years old. “What’s so exciting is not just the rarity of these finds, but that they both came from the same small stretch of beach,” Dodd said. “It raises so many fascinating questions about the history of our coastline.” The ASI encourages anyone who has found a similar fossil to reach out and share their discovery. “These finds are an incredible window into the past,” Dodd added. If you’ve come across something unusual on Rhode Island’s shores, visit www.atlanticsharkinstitute.org to share your story. #greatwhiteshark #rhodeisland #greatwhite #newportbuzz #narragansettri #shark #atlanticshark
The Newport Historical Society announced that Dr. The Newport Historical Society announced that Dr. Akeia de Barros Gomes, a Newport native and scholar of anthropology and African American history, will lead its new center for Black History at the historic Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House. The center, supported in part by a leadership gift from philanthropists Edward W. Kane and Martha J. Wallace, is set to become a cornerstone in preserving and showcasing the stories of Newport’s Black community. de Barros Gomes joins @newporthistory after more than three years at Mystic Seaport Museum, where she most recently served as vice president for the American Institute for Maritime Studies. A distinguished researcher and recipient of the 2024 Eva Butler Scholar Award, she has been recognized for her work in uncovering and elevating hidden histories of Indigenous and African American communities. “There is no one better suited to lead this critical work than Akeia,” said Rebecca Bertrand, executive director of the Newport Historical Society. “Her deep ties to Newport, extensive scholarship, and curatorial experience make her the perfect leader for this initiative. With her expertise, coupled with the ongoing Voices capital campaign and imminent construction, we are building significant momentum for this important project.” (link in bio) Photo credit 📸 @jennifer.manville #newportri #newporthistory #newportbuzz #rhodeisland
As the nation pauses to mark the 61st anniversary As the nation pauses to mark the 61st anniversary of the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the memories of that pivotal day in Dallas, Texas, are intertwined with the enduring legacy of a leader whose influence reached far beyond the political landscape. Amidst the collective reflection on President Kennedy’s life and presidency, it is worth delving into the unique ties he shared with Newport, Rhode Island, a place that held a special significance in his personal and political journey.

“Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far,” “Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by far,” says @calebandbroad’s Rich Willis. “You have one responsibility, to eat and drink all day. How bad can that be?” It’s been 10 years since the Middletown native opened his own Newport restaurant and started a new tradition, hosting his whole family, about 20 of them, in the space. “And the number may increase. If somebody’s not doing anything I want to make sure they have a place to go,” he said. This year, Caleb & Broad’s new chef, Kaitlin Boissonneau, will be joining the celebration along with her dad. “She’s our new rock star in the kitchen, taking our menu to the next level. Her flavors are spot on, and you can see the love of what she does and taste it in her dishes,” said Willis. The family and friends each bring an assigned dish, and Willis relishes the entire spread. “On Thanksgiving, I eat until I want to explode,” he says. Once the master of the mashies, whose secret was roasted garlic and locally sourced spuds, Willis said he’s graduated from potatoes to chief turkey roaster. This year, he’s planning on two birds, at 15 to 20 lbs. each, which he’ll brine for a couple of days with salt, sugar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic and roast at 325 degrees, bumping up the temp to 425 for the final 45 minutes. But it’s his mom who conjures his best childhood food memories annually with her homemade gravy and award-winning apple and pumpkin pies. “Desserts are my favorite,” he says. Willis said he’s most excited to share the holiday this year with his son who is now old enough to appreciate the occasion, and though 2024 marks the first year that his father, William Willis, aka “Pops,” who passed away in October, won’t be at the table, the adults will be raising a glass to his memory. “He always brought a bottle of Gentleman Jack,” Willis said.
