The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger - This October we’ll set sail with the crew of the Andrea Gail on their last, fateful voyage during the No Name Storm of October, 1991.  Discover how Long Island was affected by this storm as well as what the changing climate means for future hurricane seasons.  Then, take a close look at the incredible, and often dangerous history of the North Atlantic Swordfishing industry as you examine artifacts from the museum collection up close.
