David Concannon, FN ’96, has more than 25 years of experience organizing and leading expeditions to remote parts of the world, including a climbing expedition in Africa in 1989 (before Western-guided climbs were common), three expeditions to explore the wreck of the Titanic using manned submersibles, an expedition that discovered the world’s deepest wooden shipwreck in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, and an expedition to explore the HMHS Britannic, sister ship of the Titanic.
In 2010, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos asked David to lead the Apollo F-1 Engine Search & Recovery Project. Over the course of three years and two expeditions, David’s team of 100 eventually found the remnants of eight Apollo missions, 4,300 meters deep in the Atlantic Ocean, and recovered the F-1 rocket engines that launched men to the moon. In 2014, David and his team were awarded The Explorers Club Citation of Merit for “An outstanding feat of exploration.” David will take you deep into the Atlantic Ocean to find the lost remnants of one of mankind’s greatest achievements, through storms and multiple challenges, with only one purpose: to inspire a new generation to invent and explore.
