After his forty-plus-year career in emergency ship repair and marine salvage in western Alaska, Dan Magone wrote the book Udaagamax Port of Refuge about his experiences. During his career, Dan Magone personally directed the successful salvage or wreck removal of 79 vessels and has been awarded two Public Service Commendations by the US Coast Guard. Port of Refuge is an episodic memoir that records some of Magone's breathtaking experiences at sea and the high adventure and discouraging setbacks that accompanied it.

Dan Magone will read from his memoir, sign books, and encourage others to share their experiences in the Aleutians.
