Speaking Event featuring author Dennis Hale - Sole Survivor of a Great Lakes Shipwreck

On Sunday, February 19, 2012, the International Shipmasters' Association will host a speaking event featuring author Dennis Hale, sole survivor of the Daniel J. Morrell tragedy.  

On the night of November 28, 1966, the Daniel J. Morrell encountered a gale on Lake Huron with winds up to 70 MPH and waves as high as 25 feet. At 2 AM on November 29th, 26 miles northeast of Harbor Beach, MI, the Daniel J. Morrell broke in two and sank.  Of the 29-man crew, there was only one survivor, 26 year old watchman Dennis Hale.  

Wearing only boxer shorts, a pea coat and lifejacket, Hale spent 38 hours on a barrel-tubed life raft before being rescued. With temperatures hovering around freezing, doctors were mystified how he managed to survive. 

Please join us to hear Mr. Hale’s thoughts and comments. To the best of his ability, he will also answer questions about his extraordinary experience. His presentation also includes two short videos.  

Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.
