: Yes to both questions. We'll be showing about 10 minutes of actual video -- albeit taken with a drop camera, not an ROV. The weather has been way too rough to get an ROV on site this past week as planned, from what I've heard from the state of Michigan and the Coast Guard.
: The presentation will center on the search method since this is really the first search I'm aware of that was conducted using NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Reasearch Laboratory drift analysis techniques using 106 year old weather data. We were literally put very close to the wreck using this method which I'm sure will become the new paradigm for wreck searching. We're hoping the oceanographer who designed the program will be able to join us on the 8th.
: Although the images are very preliminary, we will show comparisons between these images and the construction drawings of the Chicora.
: A full length video production of the history of the ship, the search and discovery will be prepared over the winter for presentation to various shipwreck festivals and other groups. Again, this presentation is really centered on the search method and identity of the find.

::It should have been dove this weekend. It was a great weekend for diving. Then we could see real footage.
