Author, exhibit designer, and underwater explorer, Valerie van Heest, will focus on the many ethical dilemmas surrounding the steamship Lady Elgin, lost in 1860. The Great Lakes' most deadly shipwreck disaster led to the longest legal battle over the wreckage. The museum will showcase, for the first time, some of the many artifacts recovered from the wreck, including muskets and swords that were destined for use in the Civil War.

Valerie will sign books at the event.
