SUMMARY:Lecture by Eric Jay Dolin: Wreck of The Mentor
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Bedford Port Society for an evening with acclaimed maritime historian and New York Times Bestselling Author Eric Jay Dolin\, author of Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America\, as he discusses his newest book\, The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death\, Despair\, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail. \nThe story begins in New Bedford in 1832\, when the American whaleship Mentor set out on a voyage that would end in a dramatic shipwreck in the western Pacific. What followed was a remarkable story of survival\, captivity\, cultural encounters\, and rescue. \nDolin will share the fascinating history behind the voyage\, the people aboard the Mentor\, and the broader world of the nineteenth-century whaling industry and Age of Sail. The evening will offer a unique opportunity to explore a remarkable chapter of New Bedford’s maritime past in the historic Seamen’s Bethel.
