Dive into an evening with Cal Kothrade, an award-winning underwater photographer, as he uses video and photos of the W.C. Kimball shipwreck to weave a tale of loss and mystery.

In 2019, the most intact 19th century schooner in the world was found hiding under 300 feet of icy Lake Michigan water. Though the W.C. Kimball was not unlike many other schooners that sailed the inland seas during the late 1800’s, it's the incredible condition she is in now that makes her one of the most significant shipwreck finds.

Diver and maritime artist Cal Kothrade tells the story of how it was found, the team of historians who identified her, and the forensic clues that led them to what they think the doomed vessel and crew's final hours were like.

This program will be presented using Zoom. Participants must register and provide a working email address to receive the login information.
