Join us on Thursday, June 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Edgewater Room for a reading and talk by John Byrne Barry, author of the new novel Pirates of Sausalito: Houseboat Wars Murder Mystery. Picture this: it’s the 1970s, and the “houseboat wars” erupt in town on the site of Marinship, the abandoned World War II shipyard. Hippies and squatters are living on houseboats in a ramshackle shantytown, but public officials and developers want to evict them and build new docks that will attract more affluent residents. Barry will read from his new novel and talk about the history of Sausalito's houseboat wars. Registration for this free program is required.
