FRIENDS OF THE DARTMOUTH LIBRARIES
The SS Larchmont Remembered
Saturday, February 7, 2:00 p.m.

Join the Friends of the Dartmouth Libraries on Saturday, February 7, at 2:00 p.m.
to hear Daniel Harrington discuss the long-forgotten sinking of the SS Larchmont off Watch Hill in
February 1907. In gale-force winds, 20-foot waves and frigid temperatures, the steamship collided
with the schooner Harry Knowlton three miles offshore. Passengers and crew had little chance of
survival in the brutal conditions. Mr. Harrington’s presentation covers the story of the ship, its crew,
the passengers, and the unbelievable stories of survival, panic, murder and miracles, using digitally
restored photos and eyewitness accounts. The presentation will be held at Dartmouth North
Branch Library. 

Daniel Harrington is a director of the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame and a popular monthly
columnist for the Providence Journal. A former East Providence City Councilman and founder of
Chartwell Wealth Management in Rumford, he now works as a Securities Principal for
MassMutual. He lives in historic Pawtuxet Village along with his wife, Kristine, and two
daughters. 

Mr. Harrington’s presentation will be held at Dartmouth North Branch Library, an accessible
facility, which is located at 211 Cross Road, Dartmouth. For more information, please e-mail
