The Marine Forensics Committee (MFC) of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) is planning an “International Marine Forensics Symposium” to be held at the National Harbor, MD on April 3-5 2012. This event is co-sponsored by the Marine Technology Society (MTS) and the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE). James Cameron has agreed to be the keynote speaker.
The Symposium date was selected to honor the 100th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic April 12th, 1912, the 150th anniversary of the sinking of USS Monitor, December 31st 1862 and approximately the 200th anniversary of the destruction of Commodore Joshua Barneys Flagship, the USS Scorpion during the war of 1812, as it tried to defend against the British march on Washington, DC.
The symposium will also introduce the book, “Guidelines for Marine Forensic Investigations”, that the MFC has been developing for a number of years. The guidelines on more than 40 chapters, offer an introductory level description with copious references to almost every aspect of conducting a successful Marine Forensic Investigation.
