V.O..RAIMUND
KROB AND ROSS WEBSTER ARE BOTH SCUBA DIVING ENTHUSIASTS. |
|
Tape 1, 14:25 to 14:37 |
Three fifths of
the earth is covered in water and not a lot of people realize a world that
exists under the water and scuba divers are fortunate to be a part of that
world |
|
B-Roll: Tape 1, 00:18:15 &
00:18:44 & 00:19:30 |
V.O… BOTH MEN
ARE GETTING READY TO EXPLORE THE ALEXANDRIA. A CARGO SHIP THAT SUNK ON
A STORMY AUGUST IN 1915, IN LAKE ONTARIO, IN SCARBOROUGH. |
|
Tape 1, 00:11:05 to 00:11:37 do an L-cut
to size down bite. |
The engines
although as big as my boat is today they only generated about 53 horse power
to turn the two wheels. The wind was so strong that is was stronger
than the engines. And even though the captain was headed straight into the
wind and had given the go ahead to jettison all kinds of cargo, the wind was
still too strong and pushed the boat into shore -- stern first and that’s how
she grounded. |

ACCORDING TO ONE
NEWSPAPER REPORT AT THE TIME, THE LOCALS WHO LIVED JUST ABOVE THESE CLIFFS, LAID
ROPES, CLIMBED DOWN AND BRAVED THE TREACHEROUS WATERS TO RESCUE THE CREW. |
|
Tape 1 00:1137:37 to 00:11:50 |
There were 22
crew members on board at the time. And all of them made it safely to shore
and some of the locals were praised as being heroes of the day. |
|
B-roll: 00:20:45 |
IT WAS WEBSTER
WHO DISCOVERED THE ALEXANDRIA ONE DAY WHILE BOATING. HE PARTNERED WITH KROB
AND BOTH MEN HAVE BEEN DIVING TO THE SHIP FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. |
|
TAPE 1, 00:29:27 to 00:29:40 |
This is the only
wreck that is in Scarborough and we would like to become stewards of the
wreck so future generations can enjoy what we enjoy. |
|
B-Roll: Tape 1, 00:24:00…(show clips
around this time code with both men in frame) |
V.O…KROB AND WEBSTER
ARE BOTH MEMBERS OF THE SCARBOROUGH UNDERWATER CLUB. A RECREATIONAL
ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES ADVENTURE, AND OFFERS CLASSES IN THE WORLD OF
SCUBA DIVING. EVEN THOUGH THEY EXPLORE OTHER SUNKEN SHIPS, THE
ALEXANDRIA IS THEIR FIRST ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY. |
|
Tape1, 00:14:53 to 00:15:08 and
(buttclip) 00:17:27 to 00:17:33 B-Roll over butt clip: 00:10:46 |
What we wanna be
able to do is construct an architectural diagram of what’s left of The
shipwreck for historical purposes and we also wanna be able to catalogue and
photograph the artefacts on site//(butt clip)// everything of value was
stripped, so we don’t know what we’ll find. |

Tape1,(bridge: Open up sound and video:
00:29:13 to 00:29:40 (Charles with breathing mask) |
Let’s see what the
air taste like…Luke turn to the dark side…. |
|
00:29:52 to 00:30:06 |
This is what you
do to keep you’re glasses from fogging, you spit in it. Spread it around real
good and give a rinse. When you’re down in the water your windshield
won’t fog up. |

Even though
winter’s coming, Krob and Webster will continue to dive for the Alexandria.
Even in cold weather they’re not afraid to get their feet more than a little
wet… |
