They have been guest speakers across the U.S. and Canada, and their work has appeared in numerous national and international newspapers and magazines as well as on television. Between them they have written many books on Great Lakes shipwrecks and shipwreck history. Their books will be available for purchase at the meeting.

Our meeting will be held at 7:00 at Lalo's Restaurant, 1960 N. Clybourn Ave, Chicago.

Their presentation this month is GREAT LAKES SHIPWRECK PAIRS:

There are times when two shipwrecks make for one fascinating story, even though they sank years or miles apart. The steamer Myron and her faithful towbarge, Miztec, sank in the same place in Lake Superior --- two years apart! The two halves of the steel freighter, Manola, lie in separate lakes hundreds of miles from one another! The freighters, Regina and Charles S. Price, sank miles apart with all hands in a 1913 Lake Huron storm, yet Price bodies were found wearing Regina lifejackets! Hear these stories and see these shipwreck sites as they appear today.

Chris and Joan always put on a good program. Not only have they dived almost every known wreck in the Great Lakes but they have researched the backgrounds of them as well.
