The California Wreck Divers, Inc., presents Its 43rd Annual Banquet Featuring Odyssey Marine Explorations Mark Gordon on March 1st at the Hacienda Hotel, El Segundo.
Mark Gordon believes in following ones dreams. After working as a shipwreck diver with the National Diving Center exploring and making hundreds of dives on Atlantic Coast shipwrecks and Bermuda, he worked his way pursuing his passion to become the President and COO of Odyssey Marine Exploration. Specializing in the recovery of deep-water shipwrecks, Odyssey has conducted extensive search and recovery operations of several shipwrecks, including the Civil War-era shipwreck, the SS Republic. Featured in National Geographic, the wreck yielded 51,000 U.S. gold and silver coins and nearly 14,000 artifacts. Odyssey also located the Black Swan wreck and recovered over 500,000 coins weighing more than 17 tons. They also located the HMS Victory lost in 1744 and the SS Gairsoppa, a WWII-era ship from which 48 tons of silver bullion was recovered in 2012 another 61 tons the following year. Odysseys discoveries were documented in Discovery Channel TV series, Treasure Quest and three additional episodes covering Odysseys 2012 recovery operations. Mark is going to share with us the many discoveries Odyssey has made over the years.
