While sharing his latest book with us, Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World, Dolin will immerse us in a wild and fateful encounter that unfolds amidst the tumult of the American War of 1812.</p> <p>Together we will learn how, fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors and two Americans, including the captain of the American sealing vessel, Charles H. Barnard, abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a half. With deft narrative skill and vast knowledge of seafaring life, Dolin will describe in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly desperate existence of the castaways during their 18-month ordeal—an all-too-common fate in the Great Age of Sail.</p> <p>Sign up today to enjoy this tale of intriguing complexity, with surprising twists and turns throughout, that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal era in American maritime history.</p> <p>Advanced registration is suggested for this free event but walkups will be accommodated as possible. A Q&A and reception with complimentary beverages will follow. Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World, will be available for purchase and signing at the event.</p> <p><a href="https://tickets.southstreetseaportmuseum.org/orders/548/tickets?eventId=66182ef5c3a8901eca6262e2&date=2024-05-17T19:00:00-04:00&cart=true">BOOK NOW</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://southstreetseaportmuseum.org/left-for-dead/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
