Using a mix of current footage, brand-new interviews, vintage slides, audio and rare 8mm film unseen in almost 30 years, Still On Her Keel: The Legacy Of The Chester Poling explores the cycle of change that surrounds Cape Ann’s most popular shipwreck, a coastal tanker violently swallowed up by the Atlantic Ocean during a fierce Nor’easter in 1977. Battered by the elements both above and below
the waves, she is now a meeting ground for divers with a passion for exploration, education or the thrill of simply descending to a vessel that met her untimely end. Approaching her 4th decade at rest on the bottom, the Chester A. Poling is a constant source of adventure for an ever-increasing circle of submariners.

Without question, this is a film about a shipwreck ... but Still On Her Keel is also about touching history. It’s about the raw power of nature – how concrete and steel eventually concede defeat. It’s a film about friendships, both forging and renewing. It’s about the simple truth that change is a good thing – and that the ocean always has the last word.
