Adventures of a Sea Hunter_ In Search of Famous Shipwrecks - James P. Delgado [103]
Val Casselton and Chris Rose, my editors at the Vancouver Sun, encourage and support my journalistic forays.
Tom Beasley and his successors as President of the Board of the Vancouver Maritime Museum took the risk in hiring a non-museum-trained bureaucrat. Through the years, they’ve helped me move along the path of museum manager and interpreter while giving me latitude to continue being an archeologist and sea hunter.
Werner Zehnder, Mike McDowell, Scott Fitzsimmons, Anatoly Sagalevitch and Evgeny Chernaiev introduced me to Titanic. Thanks to Werner and Scott, other great world adventures followed aboard Zegrahm’s vessels.
Monte Markham taught me how to act on television.
John Davis, Clive Cussler, Mike Fletcher, Warren Fletcher, Marc Pike and John Rosborough, are my Sea Hunters family: we’ve shared many adventures and learned much in our quest for famous shipwrecks.
