Part of our “HHUC Inner Space Seminar” series at Hart House.
Guest Speaker: Walter Lewis
Walter Lewis presented a range of vessels that were active on the Great Lakes in 1914 and went to sea during WW1, including the Northwind that HHUC dove on in 1981. Some came home. Some didn’t. Some are Great Lakes dive sites now. Others are for the “vacation bucket list”! Some were split. Some were half lost. One ship even had to be rotated sideways to fit the Welland Canal. Enjoy the wealth of material in Walter’s historical perspective.
Walter Lewis bio:
Walter Lewis took up diving in 1990 specifically to dive on the wreck of the Cornwall. Subsequently he was awarded the S.O.S. Marine Heritage Award, and named Great Lakes Historian of the Year. He is known to many in the Great Lakes community for presenting the raw materials of history, gathered through the work of many researchers, particularly those people interested in shipwrecks.
