T he International Journal of N autical A rchaeology (1997) 26.2: 159–168 News Report Western Hemisphere Florida Florida Bureau of A rchaeological R esearch The F lorida Bureau of Archaeological R esearch has completed Phase One of the F lorida N avy Legacy Project, with the submission of a two-volume report on U S N avy and Confederate shipwrecks in F lorida to the N aval H istorical Center. The project is a multi-year partnership to develop an inventory and to evaluate certain naval shipwrecks to determine ways in which they might be protected and managed for the public benefit. The report was compiled by Bruce M acM illan under the direction of R oger C. Smith, and contains data on 306 commissioned U S and Confederate fighting ships, private vessels contracted for naval service, and vessels operating in support of the Confederacy. Phase Two of the project will continue with field investigations of selected shipwreck sites. In response to the nominations from residents of Panama City, F lorida, of five shipwrecks to become State U nderwater Archaeological Preserves, the Bureau has inaugurated the Bay County Shipwreck Survey. U nder the direction of R oger C. Smith, the research is partially funded by a grant from the N ational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, administered by the F lorida Coastal M anagement Program. F ield D irector M ichael F aught and Capt. K eith Plaskett, working in partnership with Bay County government and the M useum of M an in the Sea, have assembled a network of local divers and fishermen to gather historical and archaeological data on the five shipwrecks. These data will be formally presented to the local waterfront community at a forthcoming 1057–2414/97/020159+ 10 $25.00/0 na970072 public conference to gather input for the creation of two new U nderwater Preserves. Thus far, F lorida has five such preserves, which have proved to be effective tools for public participation in historic preservation. Analyses of artefacts, and faunal and botanical specimens from the Emanuel Point Ship have resulted in the first formal report on the mid 16th-century Spanish shipwreck in Pensacola Bay. The report, which is compiled by R oger C. Smith, James Spirek, John Bratten, and D ella Scott-Ireton, concludes that the shipwreck is probably one of the larger vessels of the ill-fated fleet of Tristán de Luna, which fell victim to a hurricane during an attempt to establish the first Spanish settlement of F lorida in 1559. Although only a small portion of the site has been investigated, recoveries of note include Aztec ceramics, insect and rodent remains, stone, lead, and iron ammunition, a 15th-century copper coin, portion of leather shoes, M editerranean and Caribbean botanical remains, and an iron breast-plate dated 1510. An ancillary archival research project, conducted by D enise Lakey, has gathered copies of over 130 previously unstudied documents pertaining to the Luna expedition from several repositories, including the Archive of the Indies in Seville. In partnership with the U niversity of West F lorida, excavations will continue in the forward part of the shipwreck, where galley utensils have been found. New York Bateaux Below, Inc In the late spring of 1996, the company erected underwater signage provided by ? 1997 The N autical Archaeology Society N AU TICAL AR CH AEOLOG Y, 26.2 the State of N ew York at two shipwreck preserves in Lake G eorge, N ew York. The signs acknowledge the listing on the N ational R egister of H istoric Places of eight 1758 British and provincial shipwrecks. The two sites, a cluster of seven 30 ft-long F rench and Indian War bateaux and a 52 ft-long warship named the Land Tortoise radeau, were listed on the N ational R egister in 1992 and 1995, respectively. Both sites are part of a shipwreck preserve system opened at Lake G eorge in 1993. The preserve is administered by the N ew York State D epartment of Environmental Conservation and is monitored by Bateaux Below, Inc. Bateaux Below, Inc. also began a zebra mussel monitoring programme at the preserve system’s three shipwreck sites. The monitoring programme will track the probable invasion into the lake of these molluscs, which pose a hazard to fragile and historic shipwrecks. Bateaux Below, Inc. divers received zebra mussel monitoring training from the N ew York Sea G rant office at the State U niversity of N ew York at Brockport. AngioD ynamics, a G lens F alls, N ew York medical equipment firm, custom manufactured the monitoring stations and donated them to Bateaux Below, Inc. In August 1996, Bateaux Below, Inc. erected a state historic marker on the shore side overlooking the Wiawaka bateaux, the seven 1758 shipwrecks listed on the N ational R egister and also one of lake’s shipwreck preserves. The historic marker will be visible from both land and water, thus maximizing its informational message. In mid-summer 1996, Bateaux Below, Inc. released to the public its Colonial W ars of L ake George S elf-Guided T our leaflets. The 3·3 mile (5·3 km) walking tour incorporated some shipwrecks into the shore-based tour including: the Sunken F leet of 1758, and the 1757 Warship R ow. Tour leaflets were distributed free to the public. The project was produced by 160 Bateaux Below, Inc. with funding from the Lake Champlain Basin Program and from corporate and private donations. North Carolina N orth Carolina Department of Cultural R esources, Underwater A rchaeology Unit ( UA U) Olive T hurlow. While travelling from Charleston, South Carolina to N ew York City to make a routine lumber delivery in D ecember 1902, the barquentine Olive T hurlow encountered a fierce gale near Bodie Island, N orth Carolina. The vessel immediately made its way to Cape Lookout Bight where it anchored. U nfortunately, the storm evolved into a gale, and then into a hurricane. Soon the pounding of the surf placed the ship and its crew in great peril and they were the focus of a desperate rescue attempt from the nearby Cape Lookout Lifesaving Station. By the time the hurricane abated, one sailor’s life was lost, and the barquentine was a total wreck. After extensive salvage of the vessel’s cargo, a sand bar soon enveloped it where it rested undisturbed for nearly a century. R ecently, due to a shift in the channel flow through Cape Lookout Bight, the sand bar has begun to erode and expose T hurlow. The wreck soon became a hazard to boating traffic and attracted the attention of local fisherman and sport divers. This interest prompted a group of divers under the direction of R obert K . Smith to file for a permit from the N orth Carolina U nderwater Archaeology U nit and begin a full-scale volunteer investigation. The team mapped the main hull structure and outlying components, which include a small boiler and the whole bow section with anchor windlass, spare anchor and chain still in place. Seventy ft (21 m) of exposed chain leads from the windlass away from the wreck. A magnetometer survey supports historical accounts that this is part of over 300 ft (90 m) of chain attached to a large anchor that was let out just prior T. L. CAR R ELL: U N D ER WATER N EWS WESTER N H EM ISPH ER E to the sinking. With the bow securely fastened by the anchor, the sheer force of the hurricane tore the main body of the vessel off and deposited it 100 ft (30 m) away. Other evidence has been collected to further identify this shipwreck. The majority of small artefacts, such as bottles and dinner ware, date to the turn of the 20th century. H owever, the most telling evidence comes from the wood samples, which were collected on several structural features. The keelson and the ceiling planks are pine, the frames oak, but most importantly, the outer planking appears to be larch. N athan Lipfert at the M ain M aritime M useum predicted that, in typical way-down-east fashion it was built of hackmatack and mixed hardwoods. H ackmatack, an algonquin word for snowshoe wood, is eastern larch or tamarack, which was used on hull planking, particularly below the waterline. H istorical accounts, local lore, and the archaeological evidence all strongly support identification of this wreck as Olive T hurlow. A display of artefacts and an interpretive panel at the light-keeper’s quarters at Cape Lookout N ational Park are planned. U ltimately, the wreck may become one of N orth Carolina’s Shipwreck Preserves for the enjoyment and education of the diving public South Carolina S outh Carolina Institute of A rchaeology and A nthropology ( S CIA A ) H .L . H unley. In the summer of 1994, the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, with the assistance of author Clive Cussler’s group, the N ational U nderwater M arine Agency (N U M A), undertook a search for the submarine H .L . H unley. The ill- fated submarine is believed to have gone to the bottom of Charleston H arbour after successfully sinking the U nion warship, US S H ousatonic, in an evening raid on the night of 17 F ebruary 1863. The H unley’s crew are believed to have perished in the mishap. On 11 M ay 1995, author Clive Cussler announced to the press that the submarine had been located. On 30 M ay 1995 by Concurrent R esolution S. 844, the governor of South Carolina appointed the South Carolina H unley Commission to oversee the disposition and scientific research of this historic submarine. At the request of the Commission, the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology H unley Project Working G roup (H PWG ) prepared proposals for locating, verifying, assessing, and conserving the site and its material remains. A separate report was prepared with the assistance of the D eputy State Archaeologist for F orensics, D r Ted R athbun, to address the Commission’s concerns for the crew’s remains. In addition to the Commission, these documents are currently being reviewed by advisers from the Advisory Council for U nderwater Archaeology, the American Institute for the Conservation of H istoric and Artistic Works, and the N aval H istorical Center. H .L . H unley is an important part of the state’s and nation’s historic heritage. It represents innovative shipbuilding traditions of the 19th century, and built upon a century of submergible craft experimentation. While successful as a submersible, H .L . H unley failed in its purpose as a weapon of war to break the F ederal naval blockade of Charleston, South Carolina. U ntil recently, M r Clive Cussler had refused to turn over his coordinates of this historic site. F ortunately, D r William D udley, D irector of the N aval H istorical Center, has reported that M r Cussler has released the coordinates believed to be that of the submarine H .L . H unley to the N avy. It is believed that these coordinates are within state waters, and are protected within the security zone requested by the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology in July of 1995. The South Carolina H unley Commission and the D epartment of the N avy have diligently pursued this project on the state 161 N AU TICAL AR CH AEOLOG Y, 26.2 and national levels and have met to coordinate their efforts. U ltimately, negotiations between these two agencies will define the nature and relationship of the cooperative fieldwork that will verify the vessel’s identity, location, assess its integrity, and provide protection for the site. Implementation of the fieldwork is dependent on mutual consent of the N avy and the SC H unley Commission, and the cooperation of the weather. In the meantime the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology H unley Project Working G roup and the N aval H istorical Center are continuing technical discussions and providing support for the project at the state and national levels. R ecent discussions have centred on nonintrusive strategies for verification and assessment of the site, conservation, and appropriate treatment of any human remains. The H .L . H unley site is a war grave. The protection and appropriate treatment of the crew’s remains, if and when they are encountered, has been an important concern of all the participants. The South Carolina H unley Commission has elicited the aid of several public groups within the state and Charleston to ensure that human remains will receive a dignified and appropriate reburial.

Rhode Island R hode Island M arine A rchaeology Project ( R IM A P) In 1996 R IM AP will complete its fourth year of field-work. U nder the direction of 162 D . K . Abbass, more than 120 volunteer divers interested in shipwreck preservation have been trained in basic underwater archaeological skills; more than 50 volunteers have participated in field-work to document and describe a number of historical shipwrecks in N arragansett Bay and R hode Island Sound. Sponsored by grants from the R I Sea G rant, the R I H istorical Preservation Commission, the U S D epartment of the N avy Legacy F und, and by individual donors, the team studied: the R evolutionary War fleet of British ships sunk in N ewport H arbor and around Aquidneck Island; a British brig; a coal barge; a reputed slave ship; and numerous other vessels of varying historical interest. The Legacy grant provides funds to prepare a management plan for naval shipwrecks in R hode Island waters, including the U -853 (a G erman submarine off Block Island), the R evolutionary War fleet, and other U S naval vessels lost near N ewport, a major naval installation until the 1970s. R hode Island plans to open the first underwater preserve in the state during summer 1996. F or further information and site reports, contact: R IM AP, Box 1137, N ewport, R I 02840, U SA.

CAR R ELL: U N D ER WATER N EWS WESTER N H EM ISPH ER E Virginia M aritime A rchaeological and H istorical S ociety ( M A H S ) M AH S members, under the direction of John Broadwater (N OAA) undertook survey and documentation of an unidentified wreck-site during the weekend of 21– 22 January 1995. The site was discovered after the N ovember 1994 hurricane Gordon produced massive waves that uncovered the inverted 12·7 m bow section of a large wooden vessel and deposited it in the surf line at Croatan Beach about 400 m south of R udee Inlet, Virginia Beach, Virginia. A 14·2 m long probable keelson consisting of three one-foot-square timbers fastened together, as well as other disarticulated pieces were washed ashore in the same general area. At the time, the wreck lay keel-up in the surf line, and Life-Saving M useum D irector F ielding Tyler believed that the remains would be carried back to sea or buried in the sand. Air N ational G uard civil engineers were able to right the wreck and move it with a Caterpillar tractor to a point higher up on the beach and to the southern tip of R udee Inlet (see map). The odd pieces were moved to the Virginia N ational G uard State M ilitary R eservation to keep them from possible pilfering, but the keelson section was washed out to sea by a storm on 24 D ecember. F ollowing a preliminary visit by Broadwater in D ecember 1994, M AH S members, in conjunction with the Lifesaving M useum of Virginia, the trustees of the wreck, mounted the weekend survey. The project’s primary objective was to describe the wreck thoroughly, particularly any unique characteristics. The shape of the remains indicates that less than 1/10 of the original hull survives, perhaps a quarter of the length and a quarter of the height above the keel. Yet it is hoped that the remains are sufficiently characteristic for further research to narrow the ship’s origin to the decade of construction and general location of the constructing shipyard, as well as its probable class, length and tonnage. Authoritatively naming the ship remains an ultimate but unlikely goal. Preliminary findings suggest that the Croatan wreck was: about 33 m long (main deck), about 10·6 m in beam, with a depth of hold of about 13·9 m; about 400 tons in capacity; and a 3-masted schooner. This type was the most common American coaster of the period. Based upon the on-site and documentary research, the team proposed three possible candidates for the wreck’s identity: Jennie H all, A gnes Barton or City of Philadelphia. It is recognized that the wreck could have come from any number of unrecorded sinkings along the coast. The Life-Saving M useum has assumed custody of the Croatan wreck. It is too large to be incorporated into regular museum exhibits, and it cannot be protected at R udee Inlet. Perhaps a portion of the bow can be detached and moved to the museum grounds to serve as a teaching tool in shipbuilding techniques. The remainder may be moved to one of the local military installations for protection and later study. Washington, DC M aritime A rchaeological and H istorical S ociety ( M A H S ) M AH S members successfully completed their 1996 F ield School training in M ay and a new group of trained volunteers is ready for the various projects planned. These include the mapping of the steamship Peter Cooper that ran aground and burned in 1887, and a return to the Bermuda M aritime M useum to survey Darlington, L ardington, or N orth Carolina. Also planned is a project for the early fall in Anguilla, pending approval by the G overnment. The project will include survey and mapping of a coastal area where a Spanish warship grounded in the late 1700s. The project, administered by East 163 N AU TICAL AR CH AEOLOG Y, 26.2 Carolina U niversity, will offer the opportunity to contribute valuable information about trans-Atlantic trade through the Caribbean region N ational Park S ervice ( N PS ) Citizens who have acted as good stewards for archaeological sites will receive monetary rewards, thanks to a provision of the Archaeological R esources Protection Act used for the first time by the N PS, working closely with the D epartments of Justice and the N avy. The rewards—to be presented in public ceremonies to people who reported thefts at a national battlefield and two Civil War era shipwrecks— come from the fines paid to the U S Treasury by criminal violators of the Act. Intended to promote exemplary stewardship in protecting America’s past, the rewards were appropriated through an arrangement that allows agencies to improve protection of the sites by using funds from the fines to reward citizens assisting in prosecutions. The Treasury appropriated funds for these rewards following successful prosecution of criminal violators who looted Tennessee’s Chickamauga and Chattanooga N ational M ilitary Park—a Civil War battlefield— and trafficked remains from the U SS Cumberland and CSS Florida—two Civil War shipwrecks in the James R iver off N ewport N ews, Virginia—across state lines. These rewards will maximize the strategy behind the AR PA, enacted to help agencies manage archaeological sites and artefacts in place, not merely prosecute violators. R aising awareness of this serious looting problem, among F ederal prosecutors as well as the public, is the key to the strategy. The U nion ship Cumberland and the Confederate raider Florida, both U S N avy property, are listed among Virginia’s landmarks. Cumberland sank with more than 100 men on board following a battle with the Confederate ironclad V irginia. Florida 164 was captured by the U nion and scuttled in the James R iver in 1864, a few hundred metres from Cumberland. Department of the N avy, N aval H istorical Center ( N H C) Throughout its 200-year history, the U S N avy has inspired countless books and films. But the ocean bottom tells the story of the service with an authority all its own. The wrecks beneath the world’s oceans document the evolution of N avy sea power. D uring recent ceremonies honouring those who have acted to protect this heritage, the N aval H istorical Center’s William D udley took the opportunity to formally present N avy policy on submerged historic ships and aircraft. There are 15 federal laws and regulations pertaining to U S N avy wrecks. Based on the property clause of the Constitution, international maritime law, and the Law of the Sea Convention, the N avy retains custody of its wrecks regardless of how old they are or where they lie. Only by congressional action can they be declared abandoned. The N aval H istorical Center is taking an increasingly active role in providing federal oversight to protect U S N avy wrecks and, along with state historic preservation officers, is encouraging legitimate archeological investigations of ships and aircraft resting underwater. Like other federal agencies, the N avy is bound by the N ational H istoric Preservation Act to protect its historic properties. Even miscellaneous debris scattered across the ocean floor constitutes an archeological site. The N avy’s involvement is being funded by the D epartment of D efense Legacy Program. M anaging these submerged resources involves more than basic preservation. Some wrecks contain war graves, some hold undetonated explosives, and others went down with sensitive weapons systems. Although they are harder to get to than sites on land, submerged wrecks are a T. L. CAR R ELL: U N D ER WATER N EWS WESTER N H EM ISPH ER E strong attraction for the treasure hunter, which is why laws were passed to protect them. Looters have been successfully prosecuted in courts cases such as H atteras Inc. vs. the U SS H atteras (1984) and U S v. R ichard S teinmetz (1992). U nder certain conditions, recreational diving is permitted. H owever, given the hazardous cargo some vessels contain, divers are urged to approach them with caution. D iving at sites in sanctuaries managed by the N ational Park Service or N ational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration requires an agency permit. Anyone who discovers a N avy wreck is encouraged to notify the N aval H istorical Center. Looting should be reported to the Coast G uard, the local state historic preservation officer, or the state underwater archaeologist. R ecovery of historic ship or aircraft wrecks is considered only for educational or scientific reasons. US A bandoned S hipwreck A ct ( A S A ) Upheld A U S Court of Appeals recently rejected a commercial salvor’s claim against the constitutionality of the Abandoned Shipwreck Act (ASA). In the case of Z ych v. Unidentified, W recked and A bandoned V essel (19 F .3d 1136 [7th Cir. 1994]), the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that H arry Zych, a commercial salvage business operator, was not entitled to be awarded salvage rights for a shipwreck believed to be the S eabird, which sank in Lake M ichigan just north of Chicago on 9 April 1868. In his arguments, Zych contended that ASA was unconstitutional because Congress had exceeded the Supreme Court-ordered limit on legislation in the admiralty and maritime context. The limit states that Congress can neither exclude a thing that clearly falls within the admiralty law nor include a thing that clearly falls outside it. Zych argued that in passing the act, Congress unconstitutionally excluded the law of salvage. The court rejected Zych’s argument and held that the ASA has no effect on the law of salvage because it does not apply to abandoned shipwrecks. The law of salvage assumes that the salvaged property is owned by someone other than the salvor who has been awarded the salvage rights. ASA, however, applies only to abandoned property.

Underwater A rchaeology S ection, Parks Canada F ield work in 1996 took U nderwater Archaeology staff to locations from H aida G waii (Queen Charlotte Islands) to Cape Breton Island. Site types varied also. In G waii H aanas N ational Park R eserve underwater excavations sought cultural remains of people who inhabited the N orth Pacific Coast at a time of lower sea levels over 9000 years ago. An ancient fish weir is the subject of on-going monitoring in Atherley narrows on the Trent-Severn Waterway in Ontario. In Lake Ontario, staff archaeologists excavated trenches through the surprisingly extensive remains of a coffer dam erected in 1846 in K ingston H arbor; this cofferdam made possible the construction of the M arket Shoal Tower, the only fortification of its kind (M artello tower) in N orth America to be built in the water. Shipwrecks, however, remain the principal subjects of investigations. This season, the waters of Saguenay-St Lawrence M arine Park, Quebec, were surveyed as part of an on-going SCR inventory. Also in Quebec, monitoring activities continued on Corossol near Sept-Iles. One of only two 17th-century ships wrecked in Canada whose remains have been identified, Corossol has recently been named of N ational H istoric Significance by the N ational H istoric Sites and M onument Board. The wreck of the 74-gun ship Prudent was partially surveyed in Louisbourg H arbor. This F rench flagship was burnt and sunk by the British in the final siege of the F ortress in 1758. F inally, a preliminary survey of the wreck M arco Polo was undertaken off Cavendish Beach, Prince Edward Island, where the ship stranded and broke up in 1883. Built in St. John, N ew Brunswick, in 1851, it was once 166 hailed as ‘the fastest in the world’, and after Bluenose may be the most famous ship built in Canada. The extent to which the hull has survived is remarkable considering the highly active water in which the wreck lies. This year marked a change for the U nderwater Archaeology Section as formalized introductory courses in underwater archaeology were offered for the first time to avocational groups. As budgets shrink and the strain on underwater cultural resources increases, archaeological activities undertaken by Parks Canada staff are changing. Thorough, researchdriven excavation projects preceded and followed with detailed research and analysis, like the one undertaken at R ed Bay, have regrettably become a thing of the past. Survey, inventory and monitoring projects now predominate. The volume of these projects is really beyond the capabilities of the small staff, but avocational divers with a little bit of training can be of great assistance in this type of work. The training programme being adapted for use in Canada is the internationally-recognized certification scheme developed by the N autical Archaeology Society. Level 1 courses have been offered as part of field activities in Sept-Iles and Cavendish Beach. Two more courses have been offered in Baie Comeau and Sherbrooke, Quebec. This training has at least helped to stimulate the birth of new avocational societies in Quebec and N ew Brunswick. In Louisbourg, N ova Scotia, a training centre is envisaged where divers from Canada and abroad may gather for more advanced training. In cooperation with eco-tourism company Eco-N ova, Parks Canada will offer lectures in the reconstructed F ortress. The collection will be available for study, and underwater mapping experience may be gained by students on an 18th-century wreck in the harbour. Showing interest in the development of this training centre is the N autical Archaeology T. L.
