Eric Jay Dolin: The Wreck of the Mentor Author Talk and Signing
Eric Jay Dolin: The Wreck of the Mentor Author Talk and Signing takes place on Saturday, July 25, at 4:00 p.m. at Bank Square Books in Mystic. Maritime historian and best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin will discuss his latest book, The Wreck of the Mentor, before signing copies for attendees following the presentation.
In The Wreck of the Mentor, Dolin recounts the remarkable true story of the American whaleship Mentor, which wrecked on a remote reef in the western Pacific in 1832. Stranded far from home, the surviving crew faced not only the challenges of survival but also the uncertainty of encountering the Indigenous people of the Palau archipelago. Through extensive research, Dolin explores the shipwreck, the crew’s captivity, and the complex rescue mission that followed, offering readers a compelling look at maritime history during the Age of Sail.
Known for his engaging presentations and meticulously researched books, Dolin has written numerous acclaimed works on American maritime history. This special event offers history enthusiasts and readers an opportunity to hear directly from the author about one of the most dramatic survival stories of the nineteenth century while learning about the research behind the book.
