This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "XXVIIth SHA-CUA Government Maritime Managers Meeting: "There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing" (Sir Ranulph Fiennes, OBE)," at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

At no time more than in recent years has being properly "attired" been more important to maritime heritage management. While not included in any job description, maritime managers are experts at making the most of opportunities; the theme of this year’s conference. Not the focus of any specific college class, although possibly a skill gained through time spent in Scouts ("Be Prepared") or the U.S. Coast Guard ("Semper Paratus"), most expertise has been garnered through experience. This includes being prepared to weather storms - fiscal, political, or physical - to seek a silver lining. This panel provides an annual forum for discussing problems affecting the best management of maritime heritage, sharing strategies and solutions, seeking advice, and partnering for effective education and outreach.
