FREE Online Shipwreck Broadcast
The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum presents a live webcast of the shipwrecked schooner Sarah Ellen on November 5, 2009 at 10:00am (EST). This FREE hour-long broadcast will take you deep under the cold dark waters of Lake Champlain where you'll hear the tragic story of the schooner's sinking in the winter of 1860, meet nautical archaeologists who tell of her underwater discovery in 1989, and watch footage captured by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), over 300 feet below the surface. It's a great program for all ages: families, teachers, students, and entire classrooms. A high-speed Internet connection is necessary. Going to miss the broadcast date? No problem! They'll be archiving it - with open captioning - shortly after the live broadcast.

Our newest materials are being developed with our Exploragraphic™ design methodology.
Some topics in genetics and bioscience research are controversial. The Center does not take sides in political or ethical controversies. Rather, our goal is to provide comprehensive information that promotes a lively discussion of these topics, so that individuals can arrive at their own informed decisions.
