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" - Â a name bestowed upon New Jersey's treacherous shoals, sand bars and beaches. Â For thousands of sail to steam ships and even submarines, this coastline became their final resting place. Â 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.
