During the past
few summers I have worked for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society
as the Captain aboard their 50' research vessel. The last two summers were
dedicated to the archaeological documentation of shipwrecks located in the
Whitefish Bay area of Lake Superior. This summer will primarily be dedicated
to searching for undiscovered shipwrecks.

We have an available deckhand position that could easily be filled locally
but...we decided we would try to fill the position with someone that will
benefit from the experience. We would like someone that is capable of
operating and maintaining our ROV, side-scan sonar, as well as related
electronics. The Society is willing to identify and accommodate undergrad or
post grad internship possibilities. Existing deckhand skills are not
necessary but would be helpful. The position pays 10.50 per hour and housing
is available in the Crew Quarters at Whitefish Point MI. While underway,
meals are provided. The cost of living in the surrounding areas is not
expensive.

For more information, I can be reached at (616) 901-5592 or by email. The
society website is:
