From the April 27, 2022, NNY360 Watertown Daily Times (New York) "Lake Ontario lecture series continues April 30 with 'Lake Ontario and the War of 1812'
The third installment of the Lake Ontario lecture series will take place Saturday, April 30 at the Sackets Harbor Ballroom in the Village of Sackets Harbor, New York.
"Lake Ontario and the War of 1812" will feature Dr. Tim Abel and Dr. Ben Ford and will focus on the importance of Lake Ontario in the conflict. Topics will include an overview of the war in northern New York and the role of naval power in the conflict.
The lecture will be in-person or virtual.
This is organized by the local Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary established to help the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) in guiding a proposed national marine sanctuary (NMS) through the designation process.
The proposed Lake Ontario NMS would encompass more than 1,700 square miles in eastern Lake Ontario to protect and showcase dozens of shipwrecks and other significant underwater assets. The NOAA announced its intention to designate the marine sanctuary in April 2019 and in mid 2021, released draft documents related to the proposed sanctuary.
Great Idea. --Brock-Perry
