Nathan, Shipwreck Volunteer

We are members of our local county historical society and at the February lecture, Nathan was asked if he would like to help set up their exhibit on Great Lakes Titantics coming in May. Initially, we thought he would be just helping move stuff and holding pictures but it turned into much more than that.

He was actually asked to do some research for the exhibit. He researched the Life Saving Stations around the Great Lakes (they eventually became the Coast Guard). The director of the society was impressed and gave him some summaries to write about specific shipwrecks. In the end, he wrote six paragraphs about shipwrecks and two about great storms. His work will be used in the exhibit.

This week, he's been at the county historical building helping set up the exhibit. These are artifacts from the Pewabic shipwreck.

These are artifacts from the Cederville shipwreck. Nathan helped set up the display case and hang the lifejacket.

So if you want to know some interesting shipwreck stories, just ask Nathan. He now knows a lot of them!
