Keynote speaker Ric Mixter and Rear Commodore Rob Hillman chat during a break in the afternoon session of the 2023 AGMM.

Michigan author, Great Lakes historian, shipwreck expert, diver, lecturer and the newest addition to our GLCC school lineup -- Ric Mixter -- gave a riveting presentation to some 70 attendees on the many investigations of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.  His talk, which included historic video and photos, followed the dinner and awards ceremony at the 2023 AGMM held at the  historic St. Clair Inn on the St. Clair River. The River -- with a constant parade of freighters -- served as a sobering backdrop to Ric's stories of the most famous shipwreck on the Great Lakes.  Watch for Ric's webinar series soon to be announced for the upcoming GLCC School semester.
