Produktinformationen zu „The Christena / URLink Print & Media, LLC (ePub)“

The ferry Christena sank on a routine trip from St. Kitts to Nevis, August 1, 1970. It was a sudden accident in which almost 250, men, women, and children died. Nevisians and Kittitians at home and abroad were devastated over the loss of relatives and friends. About 100 passengers survived, and told very sad stories about their experiences. Monuments on Nevis still bring back vivid memories of that horrible incident. August 1, 2020, will mark the 50th, anniversary of that tragedy in the islands. Back then, particularly on Nevis, the islanders capitalized on the Christena event. They came together and moved beyond their pain, during a time of political uncertainty. Seizing the opportunity for change, Nevisians demanded a new politics on their island.

Autoren-Porträt von Whitman Browne

Whitman T. Browne, was born on Nevis, and was a young teacher there when the Christena tragedy occurred. He lost students, friends and relatives on the ferry. One year later Browne went off to study at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania. However, that tragedy which demolished so many Nevisians kept haunting him. A few years later, during graduate work at Lehigh University, then Temple University, and working as an educator with the Allentown School District, he developed a friendship with Dr. Ed Schuster, an author and professor of English. It was Schuster who encouraged Browne to write. Coming from the Caribbean he could have written about numerous themes. But, the subject which kept haunting him was the Christena accident. He was there on Nevis the afternoon when it happened. Browne continued to hold sad memories of the desperation and pain her saw, over the many people who were traveling to Nevis, but did not finish the journey. He chose to share that sad, intriguing story about St. Kitts-Nevis with the world.
