On the morning of May 23rd, 1941, the German battleship Bismarck appeared at the southern end of the Denmark Strait and the worst fears of the British admiralty were realized: the most dangerous commerce raider ever built was on the verge of breaking out into the open Atlantic. What followed was a deadly game of cat and mouse as the British mobilized every available resource to hunt down and sink the Bismarck. Join us for a story of danger and heroism on the high seas, as Dr. John Foster (MPL Librarian) presents the history of one of the most harrowing naval engagements of the 20th century.
