Book Signing-INFERNO at SEA

7/8/2012

Location: Asbury Galleria

Description: Please Join Our Book Signing Sunday, July 8, 2012 – 1 pm to 4 pm at the Asbury Galleria Located in the Convention Hall Arcade, AP, NJ For the newly released “INFERNO at SEA� by Gretchen F. Coyle & Deborah C. Whitcraft Legendary 20th Century maritime disaster on the Jersey Shore is recalled in new book. It was the great disaster of the 1930s, a horrific experience for all those aboard the ill-fated liner Morro Castle. Returning to New York from exotic, anything-goes Cuba, the luxurious cruise ship was filled with passengers finding an escape from the Great Depression. But after the parties ended and guests were packing their belongings preparing for their arrival home in the morning, the ship became a scene of panic as a raging fire quickly spread, killing 137 and sending many overboard. The aftermath literally floated into public view – center-stage on the beach at Asbury Park, where the Jersey Shore resort town filled with rescuers, press, and gawking curiosity seekers from throughout the mid-Atlantic and northeast. The smoldering, stranded ship quickly became a tourist attraction; hawkers sold souvenirs and photographs, and the dramatic story filled front pages for weeks. Controversy and intrigue surrounded the mysterious death of the captain, as well as the cause of the fire itself, and much of the mystery has endured for nearly eighty years. But for many of those who survived the tragedy, it was a closed subject; they rarely spoke of the events, and held the awful memories away from loved ones. In Inferno at Sea -- a large-format hardcover, filled with never-before-seen photographs -- we finally hear those personal accounts. Survivors tell their stories, family and friends share narratives of those lost that night, rescuers and volunteers all contribute to give us a rare glimpse into the events of September 8, 1934. The fading, maritime mystery of the Morro Castle fire remains, but those closest to the disaster speculate about what really happened, and we gain a new perspective on a famous and tragic New Jersey shipwreck. Scheduled for release July 5, 2012, this new book is also the culmination of passionate interest and research for co-authors and maritime historians Deb Whitcraft and Gretchen Coyle. Ms Whitcraft is a former mayor of Beach Haven, N.J. and the president and founder of the New Jersey Maritime Museum established five years ago in Beach Haven. The museum’s collection of artifacts and documents of New Jersey maritime history – forty years in the making – contains the most extensive documentation and collection of artifacts, photographs, and memorabilia from the Morro Castle.

She teaches using slow, mindful movements and positions that anyone can get into. We are going to meet at my Cliffwood Beach if the weather is nice (as with any outdoor event please check in here before heading out and look for updates) Now that hot weather is here we thought this would be better in the morning on Sundays. If you use a GPS be sure to type in Ocean Boulevard or it will take you to Union Beach by mistake. Cost of each class is going to be $10, payable in cash the night of. Please bring a yoga mat that you don't mind putting down on the sand or beach towel or blanket and water, also bug spray is not a bad idea either and or a candle, sometimes we have bugs sometimes we don't but thats the outdoors for ya. I started bringing a spritz bottle of water and an umbrella to sit under now that the sun is stronger. You can log in 2 hrs before event the day of to check the weather, and please be curteous if you can't come please change your rsvp timely. I do hope many of you who have always wanted to try yoga but were afraid to like me comes and gives it a try, this has become a regular thing! With Love, Cassie www.cassiescalendar.com Nancy: http://www.facebook.com/​nancy.carlenjohnson Comments from the first event: ~this was an awesome meet up!. the yoga instructor was great, especially for a beginners group. she explained everything as we went along and let us progress at our own speed. i never felt like i had to "keep up". the beach was a great place to do this, very pleasant and serene hope we do it again soon.~ ~I enjoyed it, although it did push my physical limits. I would probably do it again. The instructor was great.~ ~I feel so....Zen. Still trying to keep my abs active and my shoulders back and down. Nancy did a wonderful job of explaning everything. I liked how she gave alternatives for positions so that everyone in the group could participate. This was my very first yoga session, and I enjoyed it tremendously~
