The Lost Hero of Cape Cod, Asa Eldredge and the Maritime Trade
Speaker- Vincent Miles
- Asa Eldridge was a 19th century sea captain who became famous for, among other things, the perilous voyages he made to and from Liverpool (the place of the speaker’s origins). Eldridge’s career exemplifies many important aspects of US maritime history. Speaker Miles grew up in Liverpool but has lived in America for over 30 years and in fact, resides in Eldridge’s old homestead in Yarmouthport.
