Maritime Lecture Series: Caught in the Vortex: The Armistice Day Storm of 1940

Featuring speaker: Valerie van Heest, Author, Explorer, Michigan Shipwreck Research Association President

Author and explorer Valerie van Heest, commemorates the tragic Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940 in which five ships and 64 sailors were lost. She examines the wrecks of the Novadoc, Anna Minch, and William B. Davock, all lost off West Michigan, providing insight into what caused these massive freighters to sink when others survived the storm. And she helps the sons of two Davock victims say a final goodbye to their fathers.

The Museum will open at noon the day of the lecture, so that guests and visitors planning on attending the lecture have the opportunity to enjoy the exhibits and campus.

Wednesday November 14th

6:30 pm to 7:30 pm

Adults $8, Senior $7 and free to Museum Members.
