Richard D. Smith, Curator/Co-Director, Port Washington Light Station Museum, will join us for our first Saturday of the Winter Speaker Series. Smith's slide presentation will view a number of ships that have been lost on the Great Lakes due to storms, collisions and fog. It will be followed by a short presentation about the United States Life Saving Service. If time allows under water footage of the steamer Niagara, car ferry Milwaukee and the schooner Rouse Simmons will be shown. This footage is gleaned from state and private hands with permission or museum use. There will be a display of artifacts from various shipwrecks to accompany this presentation.
Don't miss this presentation as you learn why ships slip to the Great Lakes murky bottom.
