Many a seaworthy vessel met its end in the waters off the New Jersey coast. Join one of New Jersey’s most experienced historical divers for compelling tales from nearly 300 years of local maritime history during “New Jersey Shipwrecks: Off the Jersey Shore with Dan Lieb” at the Long Beach Island branch of the Ocean County Library in Surf City on Saturday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m.

The talk is sponsored by the Friends of the LBI Library, who support the library through programs, fundraising and advocacy.
