Alderney Cinema repeat showing a short film, presentation and Q&A session with Richard Keen and his team of divers from bailiwick of Guernsey Shipwrecks. Keen is well known in the Channel islands for his ability to find lost ships, the best known being the Asterix, Guernsey's Roman ship, the timbers of which he found back in the 1980's in St Peter Port harbour. Those timbers were restored by the Mary Rose Trust and are now housed for public viewing at Guernsey Pearl.
