Description
Award winning author Margaret Thomas Buchholz will present a slide show and dramatic stories that take us on a gripping voyage through the "grave yard of the Atlantic" - a name bestowed upon New Jersey's treacherous shoals, sand bars and beaches. For thousands of sail to steam ships and even submarines, this coastline became their final resting place. Explore the history from 1848 to the present day of storm-tossed surf through coast guard accounts, harrowing stories and memories from survivors and observers.
