- **Event Description**: In conjunction with Boswell Book Company, the Shorewood Public Library presents Eric Jay Dolin, author of bestselling histories such as Leviathan and Rebels at Sea, for an evening with his latest book, The Wreck of the Mentor. It's an astonishing true maritime saga sure to be the shipwreck book of the year, and already a New York Times pick for “The Nonfiction Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2026.”

American whaleship Mentor wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. In this gripping saga of cultural collision, tribal wars, and dashed hopes, Dolin vividly reconstructs the Mentor’s doomed voyage, the years of perilous captivity, and the delicate negotiations and fraught naval rescue mission that followed. It’s a powerful story of survival and a revealing window into the great Age of Sail, a time when maritime ambition collided with local sovereignty and the outcome of one voyage rippled across oceans and empires.

Eric Jay Dolin is author of numerous works of maritime history, and his books have won many awards, including the John Lyman Award for US Maritime History, the Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Excellence in American History Book Award.
