Class of 1983

Eric Dolin published The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail on June 2. 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 when the outcome of one voyage rippled across oceans and empires. Eric writes: “My wife, Jenn, and I purchased our dream house in the historic district of Marblehead [Mass.], which was built in 1753. It retains most of its original details, and I love writing in my home office surrounded by so much history. If any classmates visit Marblehead and want a history tour of the town, send me a message via my website, ericjaydolin.com, where you can also read about my other books.”
