Meet Survivor John Ferguson This Friday at Bayside History Muesum
On August 12, 1955 the schooner Levin J Marvel capsized in the Chesapeake Bay near the town of North Beach, Maryland. The ship sought shelter from Hurricane Connie in Herring Bay during a weeklong adventure cruise that became deadly. The Marvel's 23 passengers and 4 crew-members were washed into the storm about a quarter mile from shore. The townspeople organized a remarkable rescue effort in severe conditions and saved many lives, but still the largest number of fatalities on the Chesapeake to this day.
Join survivor John Ferguson this Friday, January 13th at Bayside History Muesum in North Beach from 5:30- 7:30 pm to talk about his experience.
