Monthly meeting Thursday evening 25th June at 7.30 p.m. to be held in the SEFHG Club Rooms Mt. Gambier Road MIllicent. Guest speaker for the evening will be Brian Foster talking about his connection with the Wreck of the Geltwood over many years. Brian has been fortunate to have dived on the Geltwood site many times and has a fascinating story to tell. Disaster struck only 100 days out on her maiden voyage from Harrington Harbour in Cumbria on the west coast of England where she was launched on January 7, 1876. Sadly 31 lives were lost on this journey.
Working on installing the anchor in the Millicent Museum 9/11/1986 are Deone Widdison, Andre Vanderhorst, Iain Steweart and Chris McCourt with Brian Foster right, gingerly removing the skate from under the ball of the stock.
