Secrets behind the 7 Wonders, Titanic's
Shoes, Captain Sisson's Gold, and
Amelia Earhart's Wedding
Mystic, CT—Author's latest book, Mystic Seafarer’s Trail, is a humorous and historical look at the
haunts and homes of Mystic’s famous sea voyagers—living and dead—and includes
little-known details about Amelia Earhart’s wedding in Noank.
About
the book: While searching for the Seven Wonders of Mystic with her
beagle/basset hound, author Lisa Saunders uncovers the secrets behind the Titanic's shoes, Captain Sisson's hunt
for gold, and Amelia Earhart's Noank wedding. But will she ever find an
adventure of her own--one that will make her thin and famous? Enough to afford
a housekeeper? When walking the Mystic Seafarer's Trail (which Lisa designed
for those who don't like to go uphill), she meets a blind sailor who invites
her on a long, winter voyage. Can this plump writer defy squalls, scurvy, and
her fear of scraping barnacles to survive this epic journey?
