Community members are invited to let their bells toll for the 60th anniversary of the Marie Shipwreck, 7-8 a.m. Sunday, June 7. On June 7, 1960, seven brave men left Santa Barbara Harbor at sunrise on the vessel Marie, but the ship disappeared and the men were lost at sea.

Friends and family of the missing men are hosting the online anniversary event to mark the mysterious mission and honor the lives and legacies of the crew members.

Participants are asked to bring a bell so that collectively, around the world, they can ring bells seven times, once for each of the lost men. Later, bells will be rung to celebrate the future, giving sound to our gratefulness have been given another day.
