Reserve your seat: Presentation on 1913 Lake Huron storm coming to Grand Bend

The Lambton Heritage Museum is gearing up for the final presentation in its speaker series tied to the feature exhibition Bluewaterland: Dive Into the Depths.

The in-person event on Thursday, October 8th, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. features local historian and author Bruce Kemp.

He will discuss "When Death Stalked Lake Huron: The Great Storm of 1913", sharing newly uncovered stories, rare audio recordings, and recent updates on the final locations of ships lost during the storm that claimed over 260 lives.

Seating for the event is limited, and interested attendees are encouraged to reserve their spots ahead of time at heritagemuseum.ca.

Regular museum admission applies.

If you miss the presentation, you can still catch the full Bluewaterland exhibition, which explores Lambton County's rich maritime history, local shipwrecks, and recreational traditions, until October 18th at the museum in Grand Bend.
