Edhat is proud to present the world digital debut of Marie Remembered: Seven Men Lost at Sea Expanding the Frontiers of Infrared in honor of Memorial Day and those serving U.S. interests. Click here to view the twenty minute video: MarieEvent.com.
Fifty years ago on Tuesday, June 7, 1960, the private vessel Marie set out from Santa Barbara Harbor toward Santa Cruz Island with seven men aboard. Their mission: to conduct top secret experiments for a U.S. Defense contract using leading edge underwater infrared communication technology.
Four of the men were Raytheon engineers, one a nationally recognized scientist. Also on board were the boat's captain, a crew member, and a guest. The Marie never returned. Finally, a part of the story has been documented by Teresa Newton-Terres, a native Santa Barbaran, whose father was one of the Raytheon engineers lost at sea. This film captures the heartbeat of the Marie story and is possible because a network of Marie family and friends of family share their cherished pictures and memories. Please visit MarieEvent.com to learn more about the Marie tragedy and the first-ever Marie Commemoration on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum and exhibit through June 21, 2010, to honor the men who never returned.
