CAPCA members typically work on uninspected passenger vessels carrying not more than six passengers for hire or small passenger vessels under 100 gross tons operating under a Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection. This presentation will help you understand how the rules are organized in the Code of Federal Regulations and how to know which rules apply to the vessels you may work on. You will learn about rules for vessel construction, stability, lifesaving equipment, fire protection, and other safety and compliance requirements. This framework will also be valuable for those operating passenger vessels over 100 gross tons or inspected vessels not carrying passengers.

We started researching the suggestion of a tour of the Ship Graveyard. We found the real expert on it has retired as Maryland’s State Underwater Archaeologist, having directed the Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program for more than 25 years of its 30-year history. She now lectures internationally and is only available via Zoom. Dr. Langley is an adjunct professor at several colleges and universities, where she teaches underwater archaeology and the history and anthropology of piracy. She also taught maritime archaeology in Thailand for several years through UNESCO. She is a Master SCUBA diver instructor, judges Maryland’s History Day competition, and lectures and leads expeditions for Zegrahm Expeditions.
So we are very happy to have her as a speaker in May, and if schedules permit, maybe a tour in the near future, once we hear about the treasures that lie there.

Note: This program will be held on the third Monday, as Memorial Day falls on the fourth Monday, May 25.

This program will be hosted online only. We will not be meeting at the Lodge.

A Zoom link will be posted on the home page one week before the presentation.

A Hybrid meeting at the Elks Lodge about the coordination of services during emergencies with representatives from the Maryland DNR, USCG, and local Fire Boat Captains.
