A new method of rapidly surveying submerged archaeological sites. (2013)
Since 2007, the Underwater Archaeology Program at Northwestern Collage (USA) has been surveying submerged cultural resources both in America and Europe by utilizing sector scanning sonar equipment developed by Kongsberg-Mesotech (Vancouver, Canada). The results of these surveys have been stunning. This paper will explore the catalog of archaeological sites surveyed, methodology of deployment and how this new equipment can contribute to the development of rapid, highly detailed underwater...

"Railroaded" - The Wreck of the Schooner Plymouth! (2015)
An unidentified shipwreck was located in 1996 by CLUE (Cleveland Underwater Explorers) member Rob Ruetschle in Lake Erie, approximately 20 miles off Cleveland, Ohio.

After extensive archival research, CLUE identified the wreck as the two-masted schooner Plymouth, which sank on the night of 23 June 1852, after a collision with the sidewheel steamer Northern Indiana. Additional historical research relative to the parties involved revealed a...
Sultan: Cleveland’s Grindstone Wreck (2013)
Due to a novice captain’s error in judgment the brigantine Sultan foundered in Lake Erie off Cleveland, Ohio during a storm in 1864. As the brigantine came to rest in shallow water only a few miles from shore with masts exposed, six of the eight crew climbed the rigging in an effort to survive. One by one, however, the crew succumbed to the fury of the storm leaving a sole survivor to be rescued and to share the harrowing tale. The wreck of the Sultan was discovered in 2011 by the...
The threatened cultural archive in the German North Sea - A pilot project (2013)
In 2011 the National Maritime Museum of Germany launched a pilot project, funded by the Ministry for Education and Research, on the evaluation of the archaeological potential in the North Sea with a focus on Germany's Exclusive Economic Zone. It has the aim to produce a base for future research and the protection of our common cultural heritage underwater. It is the first project of this kind in Germany; therefore the archaeological potential of the region has previously been unknown. This...

Within the French Maritime Empire, the Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon archipelago (SPM) represents a rare example of a colony mainly devoted to the exploitation of maritime wealth. As such, SPM appears as an exception within the French Empire. Its history is closely linked to the Great cod fishing, that...
