On Saturday, January 18, 2025, the Friends of Plum & Pilot Islands hosted a webinar called "History Submerged." The webinar was hosted by longtime Door County professional scuba diver, boat captain, and FOPPI volunteer Jim Robinson "Captain Robbo."


Captain Robbo started scuba diving in 1966, and through the years has dove on numerous wrecks in the water around his home in Ellison Bay. Robbo owned FOPPI's boat The Shoreline previously, and was perhaps most known for his sightseeing cruises much like the cruises FOPPI runs now. However, Jim also used The Shoreline to transport himself and other scuba divers to some of the wrecks in our neighboring waters.


Listen to Captain Robbo talk about visiting some of those Lake Michigan wrecks in FOPPI's first webinar of 2025! Video below.
