Lectures at Long Island Maritime Museum: The Story of HMS Culloden – Sunken History on Long Island

Please join us as we welcome Christopher Weaver & Michael Salvarezza whose organization Eco-Photo Explorers promotes interest in protecting the environment and our historical heritage. In this lecture, they will examine one of our most historic shipwrecks: HMS Culloden.

A British warship sent to Long Island during the Revolutionary War, HMS Culloden came to rest in Fort Pond Bay, Montauk, after battling a ferocious winter storm while attempting to defend the territory from a French fleet that was coming to the aid of the American colonialists. In this fascinating program, the entire history of HMS Culloden will be uncovered, along with its role in the Revolutionary War and its fateful last mission. Eco-Photo Explorers will also share the final resting place of the shipwreck through rarely seen underwater images and video.
