Applied Systems Engineering Can Help See Into Non-Contiguous Debris Zones With New Eyes (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Lawrence Smith.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Finding the lost ships of Tristan de Luna’s fleet is a high-priority historical challenge. Florida archaeologists discovered three of the lost ships in Pensacola Bay.

The Investigation and Preliminary Assessment of Ship Structure Associated with The Emanuel Point II Shipwreck (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Willard.

During the 2012 UWF maritime archaeological field school, a large, complex portion of ship structure was discovered directly aft of the articulated stern of the Emanuel Point II shipwreck. In addition to a small amount of ballast, the structure is comprised of planks and framing timbers along with associated artifacts. One primary focus of the past two field seasons was to determine if this structure represented additional remains of the EP II ship or if it might be the presence of an additional...
