BOTTLED GOODBYES: Final Farewells from Maritime and Aviation Disasters with Ric Mixter

Bottled messages have been discovered on shore nearly as long as glass containers have been around. They bring tidings from ocean voyagers, invitations for pen-pals, tragic attempts for rescue, and floating farewells from long lost souls. Based on Ric Mixter’s new book, Bottled Goodbyes: Final Farewells from Maritime and Aviation Disasters, chronicles the most famous messages ever recovered, including three bottles found after the Titanic disaster. One of those messages was allegedly from a White House aide who served two U.S. presidents!

Hear about this and more in the Library Auditorium on Thursday, October 6, at 6:30pm.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required, but please feel free to enter your contact information if you would like to receive an email reminder the day before.
