 MARIE COMMEMORATION
EVENT 2010
June 4-6: Social, Ceremony & Wreath Laying Boat-ride;
June 7-21:
MARIE REMEMBERED: Seven Men Lost At Sea Expanding The
Frontier of Infrared, Exhibit
The first-ever Marie Commemoration honored the men, events,
community, and technology surrounding the seven men who set out at sunrise, 7
a.m., on Tuesday, June 7, 1960 aboard the vessel, Marie from Santa Barbara Harbor
and the ensuing search and rescue effort that occurred as a result of the Maries
failure to return. Included in the activities were a Fri Social, Sat Ceremony and
Reception, a Sun sunrise wreath laying ceremony at sea, and a
multi-media exhibit displayed June 7-21 at the
Santa Barbara Maritime Museum - providing days
in 2010 to somewhat mirror
the days fifty years ago in 1960. The
purpose of the Commemoration was not to solve or resolve the mystery but
to REMEMBER the event and HONOR the men, their families and those with an
interest in the local and national community after fifty years.
