The program will also be streamed LIVE during a 6 p.m. online presentation at http://csi.northcarolina.edu/ustream.
The focus of this study will be on converted fishing trawlers, specifically ones ultimately wrecked off of the coast of North Carolina. The vessels YP-389, HMS Senateur Duhamel, and HMT Bedfordshire were used commercially prior to the outbreak of the war and then converted for military operations. The purpose of this study is to better understand each ship’s use as a commercial and military vessel and to examine the adaptation and conversion methods. This study hopes to better understand reasons for adapting commercial vessels for military use. Presenter: Will Sassorossi, East Carolina University. Free program. 11 a.m. The program will also be streamed LIVE during a 6 p.m. online presentation at http://csi.northcarolina.edu/ustream.

All runners will cross Bonner Bridge on foot unless there is risk of injury from wind/weather. In the event of a weather emergency or road closure an alternate course will be in effect.
