They Came, They Saw, They Shelled: The 80th Anniversary of the Ellwood Shelling
Grab a glass and join us for this presentation in your living room by historian Neal Graffy. On February 23, 1942, just two months and sixteen days after the attack at Pearl Harbor, the I-17, a Japanese submarine, surfaced in the Santa Barbara Channel and shelled the oil facilities at Ellwood. Neal’s presentation marks the 80th anniversary and reveals the rich history of Ellwood, the mission of the I-17, and the legend of an act of revenge by the sub’s commander.

In addition, Mr. Graffy will discuss the post-war history and untold history of the Timbers Restaurant, the 9,600 square foot restaurant 8 miles from Santa Barbara.

Presentation co-hosted by Goleta Valley Historical Society.
