Larchmont:  Rhode Island's most horrific sea disaster, with Providence Journal Columnist Daniel Harrington

Of all the subjects he has explored, the sinking of the Larchmont and his accompanying piece “John
Anson what Have you Done!” haunted him throughout the years and prompted him to continue his
research. This presentation is the fruit of that haunting.

A self-described “recovering politician”, Mr. Harrington is a former East Providence City Councilor and
long-time featured monthly columnist for the Providence Journal. He is the founder and past President of
Chartwell Wealth Management in Rumford, RI and now works for MassMutual as a Securities Principal.
He also serves as a Director for the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame.
