Description

Deliverance from an Angry Sea

Updated for 2026, the life story of Antony Thacher has been written in his own voice to hear his words, see through his eyes what really happened, and stand where he stood to feel what he felt.

Tom Hagley Sr. and Paul St. Germain’s historical account has been augmented by new research uncovered by Paul St. Germain and Mason Browne, former Commodore of the Sandy Bay Yacht Club. For the first time in four centuries, the precise location and circumstances of Antony Thacher’s shipwreck in the Great Hurricane of 1635 has been discovered. The authors also pinpoint the location of where and how Antony and his wife Elizabeth were swept on to the island from the wreck site two miles away.

Antony Thacher’s decisions to pursue religious freedom in a new land, his survival after a historic shipwreck on what is now known as Thacher Island, and what he made of his life following that tragedy is a story of one man’s strength of will. The book is both a deeply human story and an important historical clarification about one of New England’s earliest and most documented maritime disasters.
