Liberty Bell 7 Recovered
Curt Newport, deep-sea explorer
For 15 years, Curt Newport dreamed of finding Liberty Bell
7. He made a prediction about the location of the lost
craft then set about to secure funding and assemble an expedition
team. In 1999, both his prediction and dream were realized
when he found the spacecraft sitting right side up, three
miles below the surface of the ocean. Using video and slides,
Newport describes the deepest commercial salvage operation
in history. Sale and signing of his new book, Lost Spacecraft:
The Search for Liberty Bell 7, follows the lecture.
