The second annual Limestone City Marine Heritage Symposium took place today and ten Club members participated; by far the largest party of any group represented on the day. The Symposium was flawlessly administered, generously catered and featured excellent speakers. Their subjects ranged from the fate of Herod's harbour in Caesarea to the Second World War wrecks off Newfoundland's Bell Island, with information about advanced technical exploration near Halifax and the survey of the 'Twisted Sisters' off the St Lawrence Seaway's Grenadier Island amongst other topics. The event's obvious success was a great tribute to local organisers working to support 'Preserve our Wrecks' - a Kingston-based non-profit body dedicated to the preservation and protection of shipwrecks near Kingston.
