The Irondequoit Historical Society will welcome Jim Kennard, the author of Shipwrecks of Lake Ontario: A Journey of Discovery, to the library on Thursday, September 3, at 7:00 PM.
Over his 50-year career of exploration, Jim and his team have found more than 200 shipwrecks, including two of the oldest shipwrecks found in the Great Lakes (a British warship lost in 1780 and a sloop lost in 1803). And in 1983 he found a unique horse-powered ferryboat in Lake Champlain (Champ the Lake Monster remains at large).
Jim and his team have been featured in National Geographic, as well as made appearances on the Discovery Channel, CBC, BBC, and Fox News.
No registration is required to attend The Irondequoit Historical Society Presents Shipwrecks of Lake Ontario, so please join us if you can!
