Joseph Williams

On December 4th, 2013, the Stephen B. Luce Library welcomed its own Joseph Williams, author of Four Years Before the Mast: A History of New York's Maritime College for a book talk and signing.  Published by the Fort Schuyler Press, the book is the first comprehensive history of Maritime College.  It is a narrative of the school that is peppered with anecdotes and adventures of its graduates.

Mr. Williams shared a select number of the anecdotes with the audience ranging from cadet adventures in Europe to heroism on September 11, 2001.  The well attended event culminated with a question and answer session, followed by the book signing.
