Enjoy an afternoon discussion on Saturday, November
5th at 12:30 p.m. at Dennis Public Library. Don Wilding will be at the library
to discuss some of the great shipwrecks and rescues on the Outer Beach
of Cape Cod, ranging from the earliest days of the U.S. Lifesaving Service
(1872) to the early years of the U.S. Coast Guard in the first half of the 20th
century. Join Don for a look at the wrecks of the Castagna, the Francis, the
Montclair, the Jason, the Portland, and more.
An
award-winning writer and editor for Massachusetts newspapers for 30 years, Don

Orleans, and is the author of the book, “Henry Beston’s Cape Cod: How ‘The
Outermost House’ Inspired a National Seashore.”
