Attention SNAME
Maritime Technology Expo exhibitors – you can now order
your audio-visual needs through the Exhibitor Zone. Click
here to take care of your audio-visual needs now.
Exhibitors, a reminder:
The SMTE will be located in the Hilton Washington this year – hotels
generally do not have the ceiling height we are used to, and this is no exception.
The ceiling height ranges from 9’ to 10’, so be aware of this
when planning your exhibit displays. If you have a question regarding this,
contact Susan Giver at sgiver@sname.org,
or call her at 412-741-0995.
Online registration has
opened for attendees to the Expo, so let your clients know to go online to
register. They should register online for the SNAME Maritime Technology Expo
if they are just planning to attend the Expo and not the Conference (Conference

Gulf of Mexico WWII Deep Wrecks Project
Marine
History Information Exchange Group
e-mail
The U.S. Minerals Management Service announced on Thursday an expedition that
will study seven World War II-era wrecks in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The
wrecks range in depth from 280 feet to approximately 6,500 feet. This multidisciplinary
study will look at the impact of these wrecks on their nearby surroundings,
as well as the way the vessels themselves deteriorate over time.
The expedition,
which sails next Thursday, will be posting daily updates, images and (every
other day) video clips from the ship. Multidisciplinary classroom materials,
targeted for grades 6 to 12, are currently being developed and will also be
posted for free download.
Additional
background information is available on the project website: www.pastfoundation.org/DeepWrecks/
