The NPS Search for Guerrero: Exploration and Partnerships

Summary

The search for Guerrero brings to life a powerful story of human greed, sacrifice, courage, and loss. The effort to locate this shipwreck is supported within the larger framework of the NPS’s five-year Civil Rights Initiative for advancing the management and interpretation of site andstories from within national parks associated with the civil rights movement, African American history, and the African American experience in the United States. It also represents the involvement of the National Park Service as a core partner in the Slave Wrecks Project. This paper reviews the recent archaeological survey operations conducted at Biscayne National Park, the results of the work, and the partnerships supported and developed throughout this project.
