(Jackson, Mn.)– Author Lloyd Cunningham will present the program “The Death Boat” at the Jackson and Lakefield Libraries on Wednesday, Sept 18. The book is a true story of a boating accident on West Lake Okoboji in 1929 resulting in nine deaths.
Cunningham outlines what his program…
“I’m going to explain to them how this accident happened. I’m going to explain the background, the detail, of the Miss Thriller. As I mentioned she was known as the fastest passenger boat in the world, and why she ended up at Okoboji. I’m going to describe the accident in detail that I don’t think many people have any idea of. And then some background on what kind of research it took for me to uncover and assemble the necessary pieces of information that was generated that allowed me to write this book.”
The programs are at 11am at the Jackson Library and at 2pm in Lakefield. Both programs are in the meeting room of the library and are free to attend.
