SUMMARY:Beer and Books at Cottrell Brewing Company with Author Joseph A. Williams
DESCRIPTION:Savoy Bookshop & Caf  and Cottrell Brewing Co. present our next Beer & Books event at the brewery featuring Joseph A. Williams\, who will be discussing his new book\, The Sunken Gold: A Story of World War I\, Espionage\, and the Greatest Treasure Salvage in History.  \n\n\n\nAbout Sunken Gold\n\nOn January 25\, 1917\, HMS Laurentic struck two German mines off the coast of Ireland and sank\, carrying 44 tons of gold bullion to the still-neutral United States via Canada in order to finance the war effort for Britain and its allies. Wild gales battered the wreck into the shape of an accordion\, turning the operation into a multiyear struggle of man versus nature. Damant had become obsessed with completing his long-deferred mission of search through the contents of recently sunk U-boats. Using newly discovered sources\, author Joseph A. Williams provides the first full-length account of the quest for the Laurentic's gold. More than an incredible story about undersea diving adventure\, The Sunken Gold is a story of human persistence\, bravery\, and patriotism.\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\nJoseph A. Williams is the deputy director of the Greenwich (CT) Library and the author of Seventeen Fathoms Deep: The Saga of the Submarine S-4 Disaster and Four Years Before the Mast: A History of New York's Maritime College.
