Roger, this is indeed interesting. Here's a video of her presentation "The Civil War 1865 Black Diamond Naval Disaster CSPAN September 6, 2020 10:10am-11:00am EDT"

I wonder if Karen Stone, in her capacity as manager of the St. Mary's County, Maryland Museums Division, knew Laurie.

Anita, after I read your post I became curious, too. I sent her an email, and the answer is "yes." She knew Laurie while in her current position and previous one as well. She also mentioned she is "still very much involved with the Surratt House Museum."

Thanks Roger. I'm sure Laurie was aware of the Black Diamond Naval disaster. Until your post it was new to me.

Laurie mentioned it back in 2013!
