The Larchmont Remembered
Thu., 4/16/26 6:30 pm
Join us to hear Daniel Harrington discuss the long-forgotten sinking of the SS Larchmont off Watch Hill in February 1907. In gale-force winds, 20-foot waves and frigid temperatures, the steamship collided with the schooner Harry Knowlton three miles offshore. Passengers and crew had little chance of survival in the brutal conditions. Mr. Harrington’s presentation covers the story of the ship, its crew, the passengers, and the unbelievable stories of survival, panic, murder and miracles, using digitally restored photos and eyewitness accounts.
