Author Talk: Anthony Musso - Mothball Fleet On The Hudson
– September 28, 2022
Author Talk: Anthony Musso Mothball Fleet On The Hudson
At midcentury, nearly 200 tremendous ships were kept moored along a 3-mile stretch of the Hudson River. Why?
Author Anthony Musso will share the story of the Mothball Fleet. At the fleet’s height in 1965, the U.S. Navy kept 189 military and merchant ships moored along a 3-mile stretch of the Hudson. It was such an impressive sight that pull-offs were constructed along Route 9W so motorists could stop and ogle.
Join us as Author Anthony Musso shares the story and his newly released book Mothball Fleet On The Hudson.
Signed copies of the book will be available for sale.
