Terry Arnott, Old Friend of VSAG, Dies of Heart Attack Thu, 01 Feb 2007 01:01 AM Posted by john Many older members will remember Terry Arnott and be saddened to learn of his death last Saturday of a heart attack. I cannot remember if Terry was ever a member of VSAG , but he was certainly well known to many of us in the 1970's and 80's and accompanied us to Truk lagoon on the first ever VSAG overseas trip in 1980. Terry was passionate about shipwrecks and maritime archaeology and was one of the founding members of the Maritime Archaeology Association of Victoria (MAAV). Along with fellow VSAG member Dave Carroll, Terry discovered the wreck of the Sydney Cove at Preservation Island in Bass Strait. In more recent years he obtained formal qualifications in maritime archaeolgy and turned his passion into his career. He moved to South Australia some years ago and last time that I spoke to him, he was looking forward to catching up with some of our members during a VSAG trip to Robe. Terry's achievements in maritime archaeology and preservation are quite extensive and there is some information on the internet under Terry Arnott. (Try a Google search using "Terry Arnott".) Terry had a huge amount of enthiusiasm and commitment and had only one speed... flat out... maybe this caused some bodily strress as he had to undergo heart surgery a few years ago, but that didnt slow him down. His passing will be sadly missed by many. He was only 53. John Goulding Content received from: Victorian Sub-Aqua Group (VSAG), http://www.vsag.org.au
