April 10, 2010 - 8th Annual Underwater Heritage Program
Museum of Ontario Archaeology, London Ontario

Relatively few Ontario divers are aware of the vast treaure trove Ontario has to offer them. This annual event at the Museum of Ontario Archaeology celebrates our province's rich underwater heritage.

The event is a day-long program full of presentations, seminars and this year features keynote speaker, author and explorer David Woodman's presentation,"Sir John Franklin - Quest for the Northwest Passage." It's a fascinating insight into this explorer's Arctic voyages. His book, "Unravelling the Franklin Mystery" was researched through Inuit oral history during several trips to Canada's Arctic.

Attendees can also enjoy an evening Wine and Cheese Reception with David Woodman.
