"Shipwrecks" poster

Poster measures 24 inches wide by 36 inches high and is suitable for framing.

This poster is unlike any other you've seen! A full 2 feet by three feet, it is a 'best of the best' of more than a decade of Cal's shipwreck photography. There are 55 ships, 1 plane and 1 shovel represented by 149 photos, no two the same. Thirteen different schooners, twelve freighters, and seventeen steamers from fresh and salt water alike. All five Great Lakes are represented as is the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea.

This poster also comes with an answer key...included is an 8.5 x 11 inch page with the name and location of each wreck on the poster, in the unlikely event you can't figure them out on your own.

60th Anniversary Poster measures 24 inches by 18 inches and is suitable for framing.

The Prins Willem V was a steel hulled Dutch freighter on it's way back home from the Port of Milwaukee on the night of October 14th, 1954 when it collided with an oil barge less than 2 miles out of the harbor. An hour and half later it became what would be the most dived shipwreck on Lake Michigan.

This poster features the first ever full photo mosaic of the Willem. Painstakingly produced from over 55 still photos, this mosaic shows Willie in all her glory, as she sits 85 feet below the waves of Lake Michigan. The incredible story of her history and how she sank is revealed along with archival images of the vessel in port, and the barge that put her on the bottom.

Artist Cal Kothrade has captured the 258 foot ship as it looked in 2010 with all of it's damage, missing components, dislodged parts and debris field as it continues to dig it's way deeper into Lake Michigan's clay bottom. There are divers, and a surface boat to help show size and distance relationships, as well as a compass rose to show her orientation. The line drawing shows Willie on the surface during better times.

Betty Page , the great American pin-up queen is depicted in this original painting wearing vintage dive gear. The posters are printed on heavy white luster paper at actual size, a full 20 by 29 inches.

Betty is wearing a sharkskin beavertail wetsuit top, US Divers stainless steel weight belt, Voit brand combination wrist depth guage and compass, AMF Swimaster knife and black rubber full foot fins just like you remember them.

The original painting was done by hand and airbrush on board using artist acrylics and took about 60 hours of actual painting once all the research material had been collected.
