Tim McGrath will be at the Avalon History Center, 215 39th Street Avalon NJ, to sign and speak on his new book JOHN BARRY: AN AMERICAN HERO IN THE AGE OF SAIL on July 12th at 6 pm. Tim McGrath, an accomplished naval historian, masterfully rescues a father of the U.S. Navy from unmerited eclipse. McGrath's own extensive recreational sailing experience adds an extra dimension by vividly conveying the physical facts of life at sea. In the fledgling Continental Navy of the American Revolution, Barry began by commanding a converted merchantman and finished by fighting the war's last naval battle as a frigate captain. In between, he established a reputation as a skillful seaman, fighting captain, and successful taker of prizes. Returning to the merchant service, Barry made one of America's first trading voyages to China. McGrath has also written for Naval History. The lecture and signing begins at 6 pm.
