EXPLORING THE ANDREA DORIA
Presented by John Moyer, Salvor in Possession
November 19, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
On Saturday, November 19, 2022, at 1:00 PM, join us for a very special November afternoon membership meeting at The Noble Maritime Collection, located at historic Sailors’ Snug Harbor, Staten Island, where we will have a presentation by John Moyer, followed by an opportunity to view The Noble Maritime Collections’ current exhibit, “ANDREA DORIA – Rescue at Sea” and explore the rest of the historical museum. The exhibit uses video, still images and historical artifacts, to document the rescue operations that took place in 1956 following the collision of the ANDREA DORIA and STOCKHOLM, while John’s presentation will focus on over 60 years of diving to the ANDREA DORIA with photographs and newly captured video. In 1993, diver John Moyer was awarded an Admiralty Arrest in U.S. Federal Court and named Salvor in Possession of the wreck. In the ruling, the judge stated Moyer’s “research and archeological documentation of his effort indicate a respect for the ANDREA DORIA as something more than just a commercial salvage project.”
Please mark your calendar and plan on attending this special afternoon meeting.
