Crew with connections to historic John J. Harvey and Hudson Valley recall that eventful day
Albany Times Union
On September 11, 2001, tugs, ferries, dinner boats, and other vessels raced to the rescue from points all across the Port of New York and New Jersey. In less than nine hours, approximately 800 mariners aboard 150 vessels transported nearly 500,000 people from Manhattan. This was the largest maritime evacuation in history and yet the story of this heroic effort has never been fully told.
The Kathryn Zox Show
Jessica and Meghan Riordan Jarvis discuss PTSD, grief, anniversaries, the 9/11 boat lift, brain science, and how writing can help heal trauma while also allowing us to re-frame narratives and share our most important stories.
"Grief Is My Side Hustle" podcast
“The engine room is, in DuLong’s opinion, a tribute to an era of craftsmanship that is very nearly extinct.“
The New Yorker
“She details her often exhilarating experiences in her very fine and gutsy book. Ms. DuLong is a confident and sensual writer, as perceptive about small matters on a boat as was Anthony Bourdain, in Kitchen Confidential, about everyday events in a professional kitchen. … Readers will feel their own little yelps of glee all over My River Chronicles.”
The New York Times
“An unexpected portrayal of America in the decline of industry, delivered from the unique vantage point of the Hudson River…Powerful reading.”
Kirkus Reviews
“She delivers an engaging narrative of maritime history and her own hands-on perceptions“
