Local author speaks Tuesday, Feb. 22

February 16, 2023 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Kingston – – Nautical researcher Arthur Milmore will discuss his book, “And the Sea Shall Have Them All,” on Tuesday, February 22 at 6 p.m., at the Adams Center, 33 Summer St., Kingston.
The novel discusses the loss of the steamer ship Portland, a palatial side-wheel which left Boston in November of 1898 for Portland, Maine and never arrived. It was caught in 100 MPH winds and all 192 passengers along with the crew of 65 perished. The wreck would not be found for 91 years and over 30 miles from where it was thought to have sunk.
Milmore will show a 45-minute video detailing the voyage and showing a National Oceanographic and Atmosphere Administration dive to the ship, which views the wreckage up close. The research is a combined 80-year effort between noted local author Edward Rowe Snow and Milmore to tell the story of the  Portland.
Following a brief question and answer period, the presentation will conclude with a book signing.
