Dear UASBC member,
A friendly reminder to join us on Zoom at 7:30 pm on Wednesday, February 10, 2020 for our monthly Speakers Series event.
If you would like to attend, please send an email to keith@bossons.ca to get instructions on how to join the meeting.
Next week features a presenation by Neil Burgess, President of the Shipwreck Preservation Society of Newfoundland and Labrador (SPSNL), on finding, documenting and raising awareness of shipwrecks in Newfoundland and Labrador. Neil will speak about a recent shipwreck exploration expedition working with Ocean Quest, a dive shop in St. John's. The team re-located and documented several exciting shipwrecks in Placentia Bay, on Newfoundland's south coast. Neil will also present 3D photogrammetry of several shipwreck sites and highlight the virtual museum exhibit When World War II Came to Bell Island, Newfoundland that SPSNL created in partnership with the Bell Island Heritage Society (with funding from Digital Museums Canada).
Holding virtual Underwater Explorers Speakers Series presentations using Zoom is part of the UASBC’s response to the ongoing pandemic and restrictions on public gatherings. Zoom is free to participants and relatively easy to use. It provides good video conferencing and presentation capabilities and is being widely used by other organizations to host events and presentations on-line.We hope to see you soon!
The UASBC Executive
