Lee Abbott

Lee Abbott, Director, Producer, Cinematographer, Editor, Writer, has led a remarkably diverse and adventurous life. Within the realm of Hollywood, he has engaged in a wide array of activities, ranging from voice overs to producing live TV.
On September 8, 1923, nine destroyers ran aground west of Lompoc at the base of Honda creek, resulting in the loss of 23 lives. While two of the destroyers managed to free themselves, seven still remain at the site today, marking it as the U.S. Navy's most devastating peacetime disaster in terms of ships lost. Lee recently directed and produced the documentary Disaster at Devil's Jaw, which includes archival footage, photographs, and various graphics depicting the events that led up to the ships wrecking. This story stands as the most comprehensive documentary of the shipwreck site known as Honda. We invite you to join us to view highlights from Lee's hour and twenty-one minute long film (available for streaming), and share the events of this tragic incident.
