John Ferguson was 16 when he boarded the Levin J Marvel with his father in August 1955 for a vacation that he had planned for them. But The good times ended when the ship foundered off of North Beach. John lost his dad that day and nearly lost his old life.
John is returning to Maryland for just two days to speak about the experience on the web and J Marvel and his involvement afterwards with the Coast Guard investigation and the trial of John Meckling.
Don’t miss this fascinating opportunity.
Levin J Marvel 
Good luck and best wishes on your meetings on the 12th and 13th. I hope you have a very good turnout and possibly with luck meet another person who has first hand knowledge about the incident.

Thanks! I have forwarded your recollections to Bill Verge and I will give the original to the archivist at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to add to the record.
