William N. “Bill” Still and Gordon P. Watts, the founders of the Program in Maritime History and Underwater Research at East Carolina University.
Dave Burley, Chairman of the Department of Archeology at Simon Eraser University, picked up where Still and Watts left off to show me what else I lacked in the quest to finish school and get that Ph.D.
George Belcher introduced me to the infamous Somers, and later the beauty and history of Vietnam and its people. He exemplifies the concept of cool as an international man of mystery.
Edwin C. “Ed” Bearss, Chief Historian of the National Park Service, assigned me to be Project Historian on the USS Monitor and then hired me to head up the federal maritime preservation program as the first maritime historian for the National Park Service.
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.
