Mark Songini will speak on the great whaling 
masters of Provincetown and Martha’s 
Vineyard...including the Jernegans, the story of 
a whaling captain who in 1868 decided to bring 
his wife and children on a five-month voyage 
aboard his bark, the Roman; Abraham Osborne, a 
ship owner, agent and master mariner-- the 
principal owner of the Ocmulgee that was captured 
and destroyed by the Confederate privateer 
Alabama; and George Fred Tilton of Martha’s 
Vineyard, who was hired in 1917 by the Monjo 
company to investigate the disappearance of the 
schooner.  An exciting talk by a master storyteller.
Mark Songini is the author of The Lost Fleet, his 
fourth book and third book on New England 
history. Mark is also a Boston-area journalist 
whose work has appeared in the Boston Book 
Review, the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe.
