Shipwrecks/2008 was held Saturday, April 5, 2008.  We had approximately 470 people in attendance.  For 2008, we had 77 door prizes (including regulators & dive charters) which are now listed on the web site along with the contributors and winners' names.

The Fort Erie Underwater Recovery Unit once again held a 50/50 draw with proceeds going to the Lake Erie (Eastern Basin) Mooring Project.  A total of $804.00 was raised for the project and three prizes of $402.00 / $241.20 / $160.80 given out.  Our thanks to the FEURU for their contribution and effort.

 

 CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS - SHIPWRECKS/ 2009

We are now in the planning stages for our 15th annual one-day symposium on shipwrecks, Shipwrecks/2009

We are requesting presentations in either of 2 categories:

Primary presentations may be up to 45 minutes in length, but most are approximately 20 - 25 minutes, with additional time allotted for question and answer.  Live commentary is preferred to "canned" packages.

Short, 5 minute maximum, presentations (primarily to introduce new topics or presenters) are also being requested.

All presentations MUST be shipwreck-related and we try for an even split between recreational and technical topics.

Please forward a brief overview of your presentation and a brief biographical sketch to the Shipwrecks Committee at ;
