Doomed Voyages Trolley Tour
October 12th , 10:00am – 12:00pm
Traveling opens the door to new possibilities, where every step can lead to new adventures and discoveries or—for those less fortunate—tragedy and woe. Join us as we delve into the ill-fated voyages memorialized at Green-Wood, from the seas to the streets to the skies. You’ll learn about the devastating 1960 midair plane crash that changed Park Slope forever; the heart-wrenching tale of Robert “Little Dougie” Spedden who survived the sinking of the Titanic, only to have his life cut short soon after, and many more stories that serve as poignant reminders of the perils often faced by those who dare venture afar.
Price: $30, and $25 for members
