Join the History of Diving Museum at 7 PM Wednesday, September 18th for Immerse Yourself! Salvage Diving in the 20th Century, with Julia Sokolow, Community Relations Specialist at the Museum.
Julia has been involved with the Museum’s educational outreach since joining the HDM team in April 2022. She has developed and facilitated Museum In Motion programs and is a skilled docent for guided tours. In addition, Julia helps to research and assemble featured exhibits, while also using her artistic talents to create unique take-home Activity Guides and marketing material.
Julia is a graduate of the University of Michigan, with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. She has previously worked at the Dictionary Project and South Carolina Aquarium, always with the aim of promoting education and conservation.
During her time at the Museum, Julia has had the privilege of using the same style Mark V diving equipment that will be discussed in this lecture. Join her as she takes us through the evolution of salvage diving in the 20th century, including how divers first learned to reach the depths safely, how an underwater rescue was performed at 240 feet, how the CIA went as deep as 16,500 feet to retrieve a Soviet submarine in secret, and much more.
