Enjoy a revealing look into Bermuda’s history as the St. George’s Rotary Club presents a screening of Downing’s Wreck: The Story of the Sea Venture, a film by Look Bermuda/Look Films, at World Heritage Centre on Monday, November 17th.

The film reviews the period of colonial expansion and the events of 1609 that led to the settlement of Bermuda before turning its attention to more recent times and the account of the Sea Venture’s rediscovery in 1958, her identification and the study of her surviving timbers.

The study of the Sea Venture straddles a fascinating period in maritime archaeology, from its inception to the present day use of computer modeling techniques, each step shedding new light on Bermuda’s most celebrated ship wreck.

They have first hand accounts from Teddy Tucker, Peggy Wingood, Dr. Jon Adams and Russel Wayman, and archived interviews of Edmund Downing and Smokey Wingood, including archival footage and re-enactments of diving and salvage in the 1950s, giving due credit to Bermudian pioneers in Marine Archeology.

Refreshments will be served from 6pm, with the film starting at 6.30pm.

Tickets are $20, and available from St. George’s Rotary members or from the World Heritage Centre, with part proceeds going to The St. George’s Foundation.
