Shipwreck! Join Daniel F. Harrington for a presentation "The Larchmont Remembered: The Suffering, Depravity and Wonder of RI’s Most Horrific Sea Disaster" that tells the tale of the night the Larchmont, a wooden, side-wheel steamship, collided with the Harry Knowlton, a three-masted schooner, just off Block Island in zero-degree weather. The presentation covers the story of the ship, its crew, the passengers and the unbelievable stories of survival, panic, and miracles, using digitally restored photos and eyewitness accounts.
