Greg Caggiano
(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- One of the most tragic civilian seagoing catastrophes of the 20th Century will be discussed in detail during historian Greg Caggiano's exciting program "The Titanic: A Special Anniversary Presentation," at two Ocean County Library branches (Brick and Toms River) in April.
The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, before completing its maiden voyage. An estimated 1,500 lives were lost after a collision with an iceberg tore through its hull.
Greg will examine the ship’s construction, daily life for its passengers, and the factors that contributed to its demise. As an avid food blogger, Greg will also discuss the cuisine that was prepared for each passenger class, which for many was their last meal.
* Brick Branch – 301 Chambers Bridge Road, (732) 477-4513, on Wednesday, April 3 at 2:00pm. Please register at https://bit.ly/OclBrickTitanic.
* Toms River Branch – 101 Washington Street, (732) 349-6200, on Monday, April 15 at 6:00pm. Please register at https://bit.ly/OclTitanicTR.

The award-winning historian is familiar to OCL Toms River Branch visitors for his dissertations on the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and New Jersey’s “Haunted History.”
The Monmouth County historian has served on the boards of the Proprietary House, Perth Amboy, and also the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society, housed in the Strauss Mansion.
