Shipwrecks/2009 was held Saturday, April 4, 2009.  We had approximately 490 people in attendance.  For 2009, we had 109 door prizes ($10,600.00 value) 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 $1100.00 was raised for the project and three prizes of $550.00 / $330.00 / $220.00 given out.  Our thanks to the FEURU for their contribution and effort.

 

 CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS - SHIPWRECKS/ 2010

We are now in the planning stages for our 16th annual one-day symposium on shipwrecks, Shipwrecks/2010 . 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 ;
