Did you know that a visit to Gardiners Island led to famed pirate Captain Kidd dying on the gallows in London? Or that the Atlantic Ocean off the South Shore became known as Rum Row during Prohibition? The area was frequented by bootleggers like William “The Real McCoy” McCoy who supplied gangsters like Al Capone and Dutch Schultz. Join us for an illuminating talk with historian, author and former Newsday reporter Bill Bleyer and discover all about Long Island’s fascinating maritime past, from pirates to bootleggers.

The Invisible Spy: Churchill's Rockefeller Center Spy Ring
Award-winning author Thomas Maier is best known for his riveting biographies, including two books that were made into highly acclaimed TV series, Masters of Sex and Mafia Spies. He is also a local Long Island author. Maier’s new book, The Invisible Spy, tells the story of America’s first secret agent of World War II, the little-known Ernest Cuneo.
