KSTP 5 Interview About the Upcoming Show

  




We hope you were able to attend the 2017 UMSAT Show and enjoyed the knowledge and story sharing experience.  If you missed it, look for future communications so that you can save the date for 2018!

We had a lot of positive feed back about the show this year.  Those of you that missed it, missed an AWESOME show!  

Our annual event is intended to achieve several important goals:

  • Raise funds for the sustainment of the R/V Preservation and key annual projects
  • Gather the community of divers, historians, and enthusiasts who share the vision of preserving shipwrecks
  • Provide a speaker series to educate and promote awareness of diverse maritime topics
  • Celebrate the contributions of key members of our community through annual awards

Many Thanks!

The GLSPS Board of Directors would like to thank all of the generous participants, GLSPS members, exhibitors, sponsors, local dive shops, Local County Sheriff's Departments, including the public.  We would like to especially thank the speakers, which were a large part of making the show successful. 

A special thanks to our show program advertisers, exhibitors, sponsors, and contributors for their items they donated for the silent auction and raffle.  Without their participation and generous donations, the goals of the UMSAT show could not be met.

We would also like to extend our deepest thank you to all the volunteers that helped! 

A special thanks to our friends from the east - Ghost Ships Festival in Milwaukee.
