•Patrick gave a great presentation on his October dive trip to Nantucket. Yes, he went in October. Nantucket, historically, was a center for commercial whaling. There are a lot of wrecks around the island witch provide a lot of historical artifacts such as bottles, musket balls, harpoon tips, and old ship fittings. The Sunken Ship dive center, Nantucket, MA, was highly recommended for anyone interested in future diving in that area. (508) 228-9226

David Trotter is a renowned shipwreck discoverer, deep diver, author, lecturer and photographer. He has been the first to locate, identify and document over 80 Great Lakes shipwrecks.
