(Ghost Ships) will speak April 26th on the subject of amateur archeology, in the Great Lakes. He will talk about the work that was done over the last 10 years, and the work on the Milwaukee Fire Boat 23 and current work on the Norlond.

The work on these two vessels along with others done over the years has all been done with divers like you, Kimm will encourage you to join him and others on these dives so you as divers can understand wrecks and what you are seeing while diving Great Lakes wrecks.
