SPECIAL CHARITY BENEFIT SNEAK PREVIEW
On May 9, 1980, America witnessed one of the most stunning tragedies in maritime history when the M/V Summit Venture, a massive 608’ bulk freighter, collided with one of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge’s support columns. More than 1,200 feet of the bridge crumbled into the Bay, and 35 people plunged to their deaths in the turbulent and unforgiving waters below.
