Program Description

Details

Register and join us on Zoom for an evening with award-winning photographer Cal Kothrade as he takes us on a visual tour of the Prins Willem V shipwreck, which sank just minutes after leaving Milwaukee in 1954. This was the second time this vessel had found its way to the bottom, and despite the best efforts of many to raise it from the depths, it remains there today. It is now a favorite among wreck divers, and possibly the most dived wreck in all the Great Lakes.

This program will be recorded and available to view for 2 weeks after the program.
