Saturday, Oct 26, 1:30pm. At the Noble Maritime Collection, 1000 Richmond Terrace (on the Snug Harbor grounds), Building D, SINY 10301.

Staten Island’s Snug Harbor was home to “aged and decrepit” sailors from the early 19th century until the 1970s.
Those retired seamen (affectionately called “Snugs”) lived in a dormitory that is now occupied by the Noble Maritime Collection.
One of those sailors, Horace Sherman, wrote a story of survival on the high seas. He and some crewmates were approaching the Galapagos Islands, and they needed to procure supplies.
Third Mate Horace was sent by his captain to Post Office Bay in the Galapagos. They set off in a small rowboat with a sail. But while Horace was taking care of business, the boat drifted out to sea! To save himself and his mates, Horace attempted to swim nine miles in shark-infested waters.
It’s a wild story! Is it true? You be the judge…
