Join us on Thursday, October 28 at 7 PM for Murder on the High Seas of Staten Island, a pre-recorded online lecture by Historian Patricia Salmon. Staten Island was not the quiet place that people thought it was in years gone by. On May 12, 1889, Mary Tobin’s remains mysteriously washed up at the dock of the Clifton Boat Club. Two years later a man’s body was discovered bound and gagged floating off of Tottenville. From South Beach to West New Brighton, the waters around Staten Island and its surrounding coastline have yielded some disturbing secrets.

In “Murder on the High Seas of Staten Island,” historian Patricia M. Salmon presents several of the most meticulously researched murders and mysteries that have occurred in and around the bays, harbors, and inlets of our borough.

It will premiere on Facebook or here on the museum's website. No registration is required, and you can view it any time after its premiere.
