Local Historian John Loeper to Speak On the Sindia

By Press Release

OCEAN CITY — Longtime resident of Ocean City John Loeper reviews his research on the sinking of the Sindia—at the next Ocean City Historical Museum Thurs. night series; July 31, 7:00 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Loeper has uncovered evidence of mystery, silver (or gold), deception, conspiracy, and a clever plan gone astray. He connects the 1901 sinking of the Sindia off Ocean City’s coast to the “robber barons” of the early 20th century.
“The stories don’t fit the facts,” argues Loeper, “Too many coincidences; too many people benefitted.” The ship was spotted where it should not have been; the wind was blowing the wrong direction for a shipwreck (according to photos); the ship had just been purchased and uniquely outfitted.
Ocean City Historical Museum has an extensive collect of Sindia artifacts and photos. Until just a few decades ago the mast remained visible in the ocean. The audience will join the intrigue with facts, myths, and speculation.
