Wisconsin Historical Society Maritime Archaeologist Tamara Thomsen joins us on The Morning Blend to discuss the life of Milwaukeean Max Gene Nohl.
Max Gene Nohl was a diving legend and deep-sea explorer who wrote the posthumous memoir I Live Underwater. In 1937, Max smashed the world diving record with a 420-foot dive in Lake Michigan. The 1937 event was broadcast by WTMJ Radio. The Milwaukee Public Library is hosting a book presentation and signing event co-sponsored by Boswell Books later today.
