About this event


We still need support for this project. You can help on both days or one. Just let Bob Nelson know.


This project is a very unique and special project the GLSPS put together.  You really shouldn't miss this one!  Learn from the experts on how to use drop cameras to shoot videos on shipwrecks, later we will be videoing a shipwreck to deep to dive. This weekends project will be on the Hesper at Silver Bay. If you ever wanted to get started with the basics of shooting video to document a shipwreck underwater with out getting into the water, this would be a great project to participate in.

If you are a shipwreck hunter or want to be a shipwreck hunter, this method is used to document a shipwreck after it is discovered.

You will also learn this procedure from the very famous shipwreck hunter in the great lakes, Jerry Eliason.  Jerry has many Lake Superior shipwreck discoveries accredited to his name, including the most recent discovery of the Henry B Smith in Marquett Michigan.

If you are interested in learning more about this project and would like to contact either the Captain of the RV Preservation on this project or Jerry Eliason himself, please use the information below.

If still interested please click on the "Register Now" button above.

We hope to see some interest in the membership of the GLSPS in learning to shoot underwater video to produce a photo mosaic.  If you always wanted to learn this technique, please register ASAP before you miss out.  This project may not ever be offered again by the GLSPS.

Please Note:  There maybe a chance to dive on the wreck, but only if time allows. Depending on weather we could finish the video in a day. For more details please contact one of the people below.
