About the Author
Lowell Lytle is the oldest and probably the tallest person to dive to the salvage site of the Titanic, 2 ½ miles below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean, but readers who learn about his amazing adventures leading up to that moment are amazed, entertained and inspired by the triumphant rises, the terrible falls, and the redemption that led him late in life to his most unfathomable Titanic opportunity, a heart-stopping and inspiring life!
Lowell Lytle was the founder and president of Young American Showcase , a company based out of St. Petersburg, Florida that sent up to nine rock and roll groups per year throughout the United States and on limited engagements in other countries to reach youth for Jesus Christ.
This ministry, which operated from 1970 to 1991, introduced tens of thousands of junior high and high school students to the Lord through groups collectively known as Free Fare and Freedom Jam.
In 1976 Young American Showcase sent out a floating replica of the Santa Maria, built by Lowell and a team of shipbuilders and volunteers, that traveled around the Gulf of Mexico, up the East coast, across the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi, giving tours to younger school children and sharing Christ with them along the way.
Prior to Young American Showcase Lowell and his brother, Terry Lytle, built and operated two Christian drive-in theaters, one in Devil’s Lake, Michigan, and the other in St. Petersburg, Florida.
This ministry showcased many Billy Graham films, other wholesome family films, and had a platform that was used to share the Gospel with their visitors.
After Young American Showcase Lytle assisted noted director Shorty Yeaworth with creative work on the Jordan Experience exhibit in Aqaba, Jordan before being hired to portray Captain E. J. Smith for the Titanic museum in Orlando, Florida.
That connection soon led to his dive to the bottom of the North Atlantic to the salvage site of the Titanic, and now he continues to make guest appearances several weeks a year as the captain at the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
GOD’s work in and through Lowell Lytle’s life is far deeper than these short paragraphs define, and so in 2014 Lytle released his book, Diving into the Deep , his next chapter in using every means possible to honor God and share the Gospel with as many people as possible.
