Program Description

Event Details

In September, 1960, immediately after Hurricane Donna, Fran Drew and two other family members discovered an unusual hunk of a boat at low tide on the Manasquan beach.  After tying the wreckage to the jetty, they hauled the soggy skeleton of an old ship ashore.  Others helped transport the ship to the family’s property, one block from the beach.  Over the next month hundreds of people came to see the hulk along with historical experts from Rutgers, the Smithsonian and Oslo, Norway.  Please join us Monday, January 10 at 7pm when Chatham resident Fran Drew will explain what was learned about her family’s great discovery.

In-person capacity is 25 attendees.  If you cannot attend in person, you are welcome to join by Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85088630039
