Join us on April 25th at 1:00 pm for a presentation on New Jersey Shipwrecks

The Beach Haven Library will host Margaret Thomas Buchholz on April 25th at 1:00 pm as she presents a slide show and dramatic readings from her classic book New Jersey Shipwrecks: 350 Years in the Graveyard of the Atlantic.

Margaret Thomas Buchholz was born in Manhattan and moved with her parents to Long Beach Island just in time to be evacuated by the Coast Guard during a northeaster. She started her education in a one-room school in Barnegat Light. After graduating Cedar Crest College, she and her husband purchased The Beachcomber, which she published seasonally for 35 years. After selling the publication to Jersey Shore Newsmagazines, she stayed on as editor. She currently divides her time between Key West, Maine and Harvey Cedars on Barnegat Bay, where her family has been coming since the middle of the 19th Century.
