�The Detroit Science Center is thrilled to be bringing this exhibition to Detroit for its first Midwest engagement,� said Todd Slisher, Detroit Science Center VP of Science Programs. �SHIPWRECK! Pirates & Treasure presents such a wonderful blend of historic artifacts, sunken treasure and hands-on, educational, interactive elements that there is truly something here for everyone to enjoy.�

"After our successful engagement in Tampa, we are very excited to bring Odyssey's SHIPWRECK! Pirates & Treasure exhibit to Detroit. The Detroit Science Center, with its emphasis on science and technology and its outstanding infrastructure for hosting high profile events, is the perfect venue for this exhibit. With Detroit�s proximity to the Great Lakes, and its history of shipwreck exploration, the city is the ideal location for an exhibit that explores deep ocean adventures and features treasures recovered in several of our marine archaeological expeditions,� said Greg Stemm, Odyssey Chairman and CEO. 

Discover the compelling stories behind some of the world�s most famous shipwrecks, including those from the Great Lakes region, and their treasures and historical artifacts. Find out what it takes to be a deep-ocean explorer as you are immersed in the research, search, recovery and conservation process of deep-ocean treasure and artifacts. See priceless historical artifacts from the Republic, pilot a real robot submersible, immerse yourself in pirate lore, battle the forces of nature in a 75-mph hurricane tube and much more.
