SUMMARY:We Are Very Likely To Die: The Incredible True Story of the Sinking of the R/V Sea Surveyor
DESCRIPTION:On the night of January 7\, 1969\, the Research Vessel Sea Surveyor went down in a fierce winter gale\, with 50 mph winds and 15-foot waves. Twelve men aboard suddenly faced the grim reality of survival: crammed into a 15-person life raft in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean\, over 200 miles from the nearest land. \nJoin survivor Walter Banzhaf as he recounts the harrowing events of that night\, sharing what it was like to face near-certain death in freezing waters and how the crew endured the unimaginable. Learn about the Sea Surveyor\, her mission\, and the extraordinary experiences of the men who survived. \nThis gripping firsthand account has captivated audiences many times in recent years. An unforgettable tale of courage\, perseverance\, and the extraordinary challenges faced at sea. \nThis is a free program. All are welcome to attend. While registration is not required\, we encourage signing up to help us plan for seating and materials.
