Somsen Auditorium, WSU
Presented by the Minnesota Marine Arts Museum
"Dr. Delgado will speak on his visit to the shipwreck RMS Titanic and the discovery of RMS Carpathia."

#####

This was a fascinating, multi-media lecture by James Delgado, the executive director of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and host of National Geographic and History Channel's The Sea Hunters.

Mr. Delgado is very charismatic, a wonderful public speaker. He spoke of the human aspect, of the lives lost, of the Titanic, and how he thought about the individuals as he navigated among the ruins of the sunken ship.

He showed photos that he took through the windows of the submersible he was in, and also showed video footage of the Carpathian wreck.

My nine-year-old son attended the lecture with me, and was completely absorbed by it. He said that the 90 minute program felt like it wasn't even an hour long, and that it got him "right here" (as he pointed to his chest).

A wonderful lecture.
