This is a paper/report submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. On May 12, 1942, the 500-foot-long, steel-hulled tanker Virginia was sunk by the German U-boat U-507 off the Mississippi River’s Southwest Pass. The shipwreck was discovered in nearly 300 feet of water during a 2001 oil and gas survey and was investigated by a remotely operated vehicle in 2004. A 2006 geophysical survey found that the shipwreck had moved more than 1,200 feet...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the last thirty years, there has been much done to study the archaeological and nautical history of sixteenth-century shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay. However, this study will focus not on ship construction in the sixteenth-century,...

Maritime Archaeologists from the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary teamed up with divers from the Roanoke Island Outfitters and Adventures Dive Shop of Manteo, NC, to complete a survey of one of the most popular shipwreck sites in North Carolina. Following an underwater archaeology training course with avocational divers supported by the dive shop, a full site recording of Carl Gerhard, a freighter wrecked in 1929 off of Kill Devil Hills, NC, was undertaken. Interest ballooned beyond just those...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The Ohio-based Maritime Archaeological Survey Team (MAST) and the Pennsylvania Archaeology Shipwreck Survey Team (PASST) both rely heavily on amateur, volunteer archaeologists to record and disseminate information about Lake Erie shipwrecks. Both are steered by a single professional maritime archaeologist...

This paper endeavors to take a critical look at underwater archaeology research in Cuban coastal areas, mostly after 1959.  Stress is made on the early research and the organizations which participated and the foreign companies which made an effort in underwater archaeological excavation on the Cuban shelf.  However, this paper underlines the controversial role played by Carisub, a company in charge of underwater archaeological research until 2004, and its role in granting permits for commercial...

PROJECT Hans K. Van Tilburg.

This survey report summarizes all known information for submerged U.S. naval properties in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands, based on various published and unpublished documents, oral reports, previously completed archaeological investigations, and archival resources. The report includes background information on the environmental setting of Hawaii, prehistoric and historic contexts, potential National Register nominations, and management recommendations.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Plus Ultra: An examination of current research in Spanish Colonial/Iberian Underwater and Terrestrial Archaeology in the Western Hemisphere." , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Three wreck sites from the 1559 fleet of Don Tristán de Luna y Arellano have been identified to date. Research on these vessels, as well as excavations on the settlement site overlooking the wrecks, provides a unique opportunity to...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. This paper will focus on the ongoing investigations of the Emanuel Point Shipwrecks, the oldest European wrecks in Florida, and our surveys and diver investigations for the 2022 UWF field season.

3D imaging creates a permanent digital record that allows scientists to study minute site details and also serves an important outreach role by allowing the public to virtually explore archaeological resources. While 3D imaging of archaeological sites using laser and lidar is a growing trend in terrestrial archaeology, its application in marine archaeology has only recently emerged. Marine archaeologists are now beginning to use 3D laser- and sonar-derived models as new tools for interpreting...

In 2015, the Indiana Lake Michigan Coastal Management Program expanded efforts to connect the public with historical archaeology and better manage submerged cultural resources. For the first time in the Great Lakes region, a mobile sonar survey was conducted in combination with a diver-directed sonar survey to collect three-dimensional data for four shipwrecks. The resulting compilation of remote sensing technology and 3D animated web modeling provides new information about previously...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Landscapes Above and Below in Southern Contexts (General Sessions)" , at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. The United States and British Virgin Islands are popular tourist destinations with their picturesque beaches and turquoise waters but as Caribbean colonies of various Euro-American nations, these islands were primarily comprised of sugar and cotton plantations. Transportation of products to markets in Europe,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Paper / Report Submission (General Sessions)", at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. 3D documentation tools and methods are becoming commonplace in nautical and underwater archaeology, but the means to visualize, preserve, share, publish, and re-use the resultant models and underlying raw datasets are often inaccessible. The OpenHeritage3D platform has built a scholarly framework for the use and re-use of full...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Maritime Archeology of the Slave Trade: Past and Present Work, and Future Prospects", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Competition for financial support of research projects is increasing. As the number of promising research projects increase over time, ‘single-source’ funding is not effective providing sustainability. For organizations with a vested interest in research, community engagement and capacity...

This is an abstract from the "Submerged Cultural Resources and the Maritime Heritage of the Great Lakes" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In 2018, Coastal Environments, Inc., (CEI) conducted a targeted cultural resources survey in the Lake Erie waters of Ashtabula County, Ohio, a study area covering ca. 30 square miles of lake bottom.  The project’s first phase consisted of a geophysical survey at selected locations within the study area.  The...

Dry Tortugas National Park lies approximately 70 miles to the west of Key West in the direct path of the Florida Straits, as the western most terminus of the Florida Keys. Having been desginated initially as a National Monument in 1935, it wasn't until the establishment of the National Historic Preservation Act in 1966 that it truly saw protection from treasure hunters in the pristine reefs, and in a ironic twist, also from the then director of the National Park Service. Shipwrecks and material...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Maritime Archaeology in West Africa", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. When was Australia “discovered” by the European? When did the European trade with America become more significant? How did the Industrial Revolution change the world? These are some of the questions that we believe are possible to answer without leaving the beaches of Cape Verde. The Cape Verde archipelago was a very strategic place in the...

For over two centuries galleons carried treasure and commodities between Asia and Mexico, crossing the Pacific along established routes that took advantage of currents and winds. The voyage was difficult and the hardships endured were extreme. At least four are known to have been lost along the Pacific coast between Washington and Baja California, although none have been recovered archaeologically. In California, just north of the San Francisco Bay, the galleon San Agustin was wrecked at Pt....
