Sunday, Nov 17, 2pm at the historic Henry Hogg Biddle House, 70 Satterlee St, SINY 10307.

Historian Patricia Salmon teams up with Staten Island OutLOUD as we continue our Autumn 2019 series on Nathaniel Philbrick’s “In the Heart of the Sea” for The Big Read/National Endowment for the Arts.
We’ll explore portions of Philbrick’s gripping story of the 1820 wreck of the whaleship Essex, and its connection to “Moby Dick”.
Pat will bring the story home as she recounts stories of local maritime disasters.
Free and good for all ages.
Book giveaway, while supplies last.
Special thanks to John Kilcullen and the NYC Dept of Parks & Recreation.
