Discussion with Lusitania Owner Sold Out

If you were hoping to be a part of a discussion with the owner of a famous sunken ship, but haven’t bought your ticket, you are out of luck.

A lecture and discussion with Gregg Bemis, owner of the Lusitania, became so popular that it sold out one day after the Winnetka-Northfield Library put out a call for ticket sales.

“We have reached our fire code capacity of 80 persons for the room,” according to a library news release sent on Wednesday. “The room will be closed to the public during the presentation.”

The discussion will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 30 at the Winnetka Library’s Adult Reading Room.

“We are truly appreciative of the amazing response we have had for this presentation.”

Seats were filled three hours after an email notification was sent out by the library.
