Virtual Lecture Series via ZOOM

Event Summary: The Brockville Museum is pleased to be able to offer our 18th Annual Lecture Series this February and March. Of course, we've had to make some changes: this year's series is being held virtually over Zoom and we've lowered ticket prices to just $20 for the whole series (attend as many or as few as you'd like). As an added perk, tickets include exclusive access to recordings of all lectures at the conclusion of the series. Lectures will be about 45-60 minutes and will include a question period. The best part of a virtual series is that we've been able attract speakers from further afield since travel isn't an issue.

We hope you'll show your support for this popular annual program and for the Brockville Museum by registering for this year's series.

Tickets must be purchased in advance through the Brockville Arts Centre. Once you've made your purchase you'll be sent a link to register on Zoom. Tickets are limited.

This presentation offers an overview of the area's maritime history, detailed information about many ships and how they were lost, and underwater visuals showing highlights of each shipwreck today. Bio: Cris Kohl is a Master Scuba Diver by training, a prize-winning underwater photographer of shipwrecks since the mid-1980s, an intense researcher making extensive use of his Master of Arts degree in History, and the author of 17 books about Great Lakes Maritime History.
