Many a seaworthy vessel met its end in the waters off the New Jersey coast. On Monday, September 8th, at 7:00pm, join one of the Garden State’s most experienced historical divers for compelling tales from nearly 300 years of local maritime history during “New Jersey Shipwrecks" with Dan Lieb. “Diver Dan” will provide revealing details about the circumstances and aftermaths of Jersey Shore maritime disasters including those that took place in both World Wars, and will discuss his extensive work in solving mysteries of the deep.
Dan’s research and identification of sunken vessels off our coast spans more than two decades. His diving skills and technical illustrations have enabled him to take part in 30 undersea archaeological expeditions. He has mapped nearly 30 shipwreck sites and created illustrations for state and federal reports. A member of the New Jersey Historical Divers Association, he holds a Divemaster rating by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) and has executed more than 2,300 dives since 1974.
