"The Final Voyage of the Skeele"
with Ric Mixter
1:00pm
Join award-winning
videographer Ric Mixter as he searches Lake Huron for the lost schooner Edward Skeele, which was chronicled
in photographs during its last voyage for cedar posts near Manitoulin Island. The loss of the ship is one of the few
to have such a detailed record of its sinking, and the location of the remains seemed like it would be easy.
Ric
has used the internet to chase down clues and he also found the wreck's captain has a tie to another wreck near Alpena.
From U-boats to Schooners, you know Ric will tie it all together in a fun lecture, Second Saturday's first presenter
for 2019!
