Presented by Shipwreck Diver Dan Lieb.
A desire to visit something new triggers an expedition to identify a wreck and reveal a tragic hit-and-run at sea. Mr. Lieb's talk on the John K. Shaw is a compelling look at a maritime disaster. The vessel was built locally, owned locally, crewed locally... and they lived - and died - locally.
Dan has led and participated in dozens of archaeological expeditions in New Jersey and the surrounding region for more than 30 years mapping shipwrecks. His enthusiasm for local maritime history allows him to identify shipwrecks in NJ waters. He holds a PADI Divemaster rating and has logged over 2,300 dives since 1974.
