Join author Jill Farinelli and the Warwick Historical Society for a talk on The Palatine Wreck: The Legend of the New England Ghost Ship on Wednesday, October 2 at 7 p.m. On December 27, 1738, a blizzard drove a British merchant ship onto a sandbar on Block Island. On board were 105 sick and starving passengers, reduced from the 340 who began the journey to America. Stories circulated that the crew had murdered the captain and extorted money from the passengers. Others said that the islanders had lured the ship ashore. Some claimed that the ship had been burned to hide evidence of crimes. Then, a year after the boat ran aground, a fiery ghost ship was seen drifting near Block Island, and over the centuries, hundreds of witnesses saw it again and again. Come for a historical detective tale. Hear how the legend began, and find out what really happened to the ill-fated Princess Augusta and her passengers. This event is free and open to all. Drop in for a fun time.
