Shipwrecks/2003 Important Notice:

Program Change

Due to circumstances beyond our control. Mr. Drew Trent (Oceaneering, Houston Texas) will be unable to present at our Shipwrecks/2003 Symposium. Mr. Trent's busy work schedule has him unexpectedly in Brazil over the next month. It is logistically impossible to bring him to Canada for our one day event.

Mr Dennis Hale (author: Sole Survivor, Ohio) has agreed to present on short notice. Dennis is the Sole Survivor of the sinking of the Daniel J. Morrell and will tell of the sinking, of his 38 hour ordeal aboard a life raft wearing only a pea coat and underwear and of his rescue from one of Lake Huron's worst November Storms. Dennis gave this presentation to a much smaller audience at Shipwrecks/97 but we have had requests for his return on our questionnaires every year since.

Dennis's presentation will be complimented by Jim & Pat Stayer's (Out of The Blue Productions, Michigan) video "The Morrell".

It is hoped Mr. Trent will be available to present Liberty Bell 7 & U-166 Mystery Solved at Shipwrecks/2004
