Inferno at Sea - Presentation & Book Signing

Legendary 20th Century maritime disaster on the Jersey Shore is recalled in new book.  It was the great disaster of the 1930s, a horrific experience for all those aboard the ill-fated liner Morro Castle. Returning to New York from exotic, anything-goes Cuba, the luxurious cruise ship was filled with passengers finding an escape from the Great Depression. But after the parties ended and guests were packing their belongings preparing for their arrival home in the morning, the ship became a scene of panic as a raging fire quickly spread, killing 137 and sending many overboard. In Inferno at Sea -- a large-format hardcover, filled with never-before-seen photographs. Survivors tell their stories, family and friends share narratives of those lost that night, rescuers and volunteers all contribute to give us a rare glimpse into the events of September 8, 1934.

Join us for a presentation and book signing.  Light refreshments will be served.
