We've postponed the usual scheduled release of this podcast to correspond with Veteran's Day -which is observed on the 11th of November each year.
Normally, the show would have been released on Election Day, the 5th of November.
This past Saturday morning, the Greenwich Historical Society hosted the screening of an extraordinary documentary that has a Greenwich connection.
When the readers of the Rochester Times-Union received their Thursday evening, June 14, 1945 editions, they and Americans across the nation learned of the greatest single transport disaster during World War II.
In the darkness of the night, and in poor weather conditionsd, the British troop ship HMT Rohna sank after a 30-minute enemy air attack on November 26, 1943 off the coast of Algeria.
Of the 1,981 U.S. Navy personnel aboard 1,015 were lost -including one named James Campbell Moore who called Greenwich, Connecticut home.
It would be many years before family members and the public would learn more details about the mysterious circumstances of the HMT Rohna disaster.
Originally aired in 2019, we're featuring an encore presentation by request of an interview between Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead and Greenwich Author Catherine Ladnier and her associates John Dolin and Joe Webber of West Haven, Connecticut -all of the Rohna Survivors Memorial Association.
If you missed this past weekend's screening of the documentary on the Rohna Disaster we have good news.
By popular demand, the Greenwich Historical Society will be hosting a second-screening on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. This is on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

We'll have all this -and more- as our history continues to unfold.
