The Grey NATO – 347 – Hunting (And Finding) Shipwrecks With Derek Haager & Matt Ludvigson
This week, the TGN boys are proud to present an extra special episode that features not only a chat with a pair of shipwreck hunters (and TGN Crew members) Derek Haager and Matt Ludvigson, but also the launch of our long-awaited new merch collection (which was conveniently designed by Matt Ludvigson!). It’s a jam-packed hour of a show with a great chat about the hunt for a Lake Michigan wreck that had been lost for nearly 140 years.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you enjoying some amazing underwater photography while you get deeper – way deeper – into the world of competitive bird watching.
