2010 Summer project:

This summer MAST is doing a project that the members requested, “a way to do a survey project without working from a boat”. The survey project that MAST and the Great Lakes Historical Society is a Maritime Coastal Historical Cultural Remains Survey.

Just west of Vermilion, there is a small park that has been a multiple use area since the first settlers in the area.  Sherod Park was the site of logging, farming, docks, and at least one house.  Evidence of this human interaction with the coastline is visible in the cultural remains just off the beach in the area.  GLHS and MAST are hoping to go out, search, find, map, and identify these cultural remains.  The result of this will be a well mapped, accessible dive site – and a lot of history to share with the town of Vermilion.

There are four weekends planned over the next four months – we encourage all of you to come out and assist with this exciting project.  Since it is land based, every member is welcome to attend and work as often as they would like.  Please sign up and come out for as many days as you can.

June 19 and 20, 9:30am
July 10 and 11
August 28 and 29
September 18 and 19

Remember this survey was planed because it was what the members wanted to do for a project.
