History of the Organisation
POW Kingston was established by a dedicated group of early underwater explorers and historians. Their interest in researching the fate of the many local shipwrecks and their intrepid diving exploits led them to discover many of the vessels' resting places. Recognizing the historical importance of the wrecks, the group acknowledged their duty to protect the legacy they represented. Their chosen outlet for much of their work became the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, with which many of them served as founding directors. Short features on some of these key personalities, the people who created and shaped our Organisation, will appear in our quarterly newsletter, which is available online. Their contribution is remarkable - and many of them remain very active.
