Paul G. Allen’s legacy:
Uncovering history from the deep ocean

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

Microsoft co-founder Paul G. Allen (1953-2018) will be remembered for many things, his contribution to the personal computer revolution among them, but his role in uncovering historic shipwrecks and resurrecting their stories is captivating to many who have followed ocean exploration and naval history through the ages.

George Pearkes and the Battle of Passchendaele

Story by Sharon Adams

In 1917, the British wanted to destroy U-boat bases on the Belgian coast before the Germans could mount a blockade that would cripple Allied efforts. Capturing the ridge at Passchendaele, the highest point in the area, would give them an advantage. The Canadian Corps, which had fought in a dozen battles after its success capturing Vimy Ridge in April, was ordered in October 1917 to help capture the ridge at Passchendaele.
