The Vineyard Haven library welcomes local historian Tom Dresser for a presentation on his latest book, “Historic Storms of Martha’s Vineyard,” which chronicles the major storms of the past four centuries on Martha’s Vineyard, including the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635, Hurricane Bob, and the No-Name Storm of 1991, among others.
“Historic Storms of Martha’s Vineyard” is a compilation of the fiercest weather challenges of the past on the Island, starting with the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635, the granddaddy of our major storms. The talk is on Tuesday, May 26, at 6 pm at the Katharine Cornell Theatre, 51 Spring St. in Vineyard Haven (above Tisbury Town Hall). Free and open to the public, no registration required.
