E-mail: crl@tamu.edu The Conservation Research Laboratory (CRL), directed by Dr. Donny L. Hamilton CRL deals with archaeological projects year-round and consists of two laboratories: one is used primarily to teach conservation classes to students at TAMU; it is also equipped to conduct conservation of small inorganic and organic artifacts. The second laboratory has recently been enlarged to accommodate bigger projects. In 1995, we established the Archaeological Preservation Research Laboratory, which is devoted to developing new conservation technologies. All kinds of artifacts are treated at CRL, from those made of iron, copper, brass, or pewter to those of wood, leather, glass, or ceramic. We are currently conserving an extensive collection of material recovered from the 17th-century sunken city of Port Royal, Jamaica. The laboratory has also undertaken the monumental task of treating all of the material recovered from the Belle , a 17th-century French ship that wrecked in Matagorda Bay on the Texas coast in 1686. In addition to these large projects, CRL conserves artifacts for small archaeological organizations. We also treat artifacts recovered from terrestrial sites. To find out more about these projects, check out the links below.

The Florizel The S. S. Florizel was one of the ships of the Red Cross Line owned by Bowering’s of St. John’s NF The Florizel was one of the world’s first icebreakers. The ship carried passengers on the St. John’s Halifax New York City run. It was also used as a sealing vessel. In 1914 the Florizel transported 500 volunteers of the First Newfoundland Regiment (The Blue Puttees) to the front in heavy seas and headwinds. The ship sailed from St. John’s at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 22, 1918 in spite of the fact that a storm was raging outside the snug harbour of St. John’s. The ship had 138 people on board including 78 passengers, among them nine women and six children. Here is what happened: Sunday-February 23
  • 4:40 a.m. The Captain realizes the ship is off course. He tries to correct but the Florizel runs aground at Horn Head Point a short distance from shore.

Offshore Prehistoric Archaeology in Apalachee Bay
Nautical and Historic Archaeology along the St. Mark's River
On June 29th, 1998, student archaeologists from around America and as far away as Sweden gathered together in Tallahassee to join Florida State University Program in Underwater Archaeology faculty and staff in a major archaeological investigation. Join us as we attempt to recreate the migration and lifeways of Florida's first people, who lived along the rivers now submerged in Apalachee Bay by rising sea levels once the Ice Age ended. And accompany underwater archaeologists as they investigate shipwrecks and sunken harbor features in the St. Mark's River, trafficked by the Spanish as early as the 16th century, and later the site of Fort San Marcos de Apalachee which was plagued by pirate attacks until the end of the colonial era, and then saw the rise and fall of a thriving maritime commerce economy during the 19th century. This webpage is designed to provide regular updates detailing the progress of the expedition, as well as provide general information on the project. Reports are still being filed. Be sure to keep checking in to follow the latest discoveries of this exciting underwater field project. Use the index below to find out what the archaeologists were up to on any particular day.

Department of the Navy Policy Regarding Custody and Management of Sunken Naval Vessels and Aircraft Wreck Sites
Common Questions about Submerged Aircraft and Shipwrecks
Department of the Navy ship and aircraft wrecks are government property in the custody of the U.S. Navy. These seemingly abandoned properties remain government-owned until the Navy takes specific formal action to dispose of them. Navy custody of its wrecks is based on the property clause of the U.S. Constitution and international maritime law and it is consistent with Articles 95 and 96 of the Law of the Sea Convention. These laws establish that right, title, or ownership of federal property is not lost to the government due to the passage of time. Only by congressional action can ship and aircraft wrecks be declared abandoned. Through the sovereign immunity provisions of Admiralty law, the Department of the Navy retains custody of all of its naval vessels and aircraft, whether lost within U.S., foreign, or international boundaries. Past court cases supporting this doctrine include litigation in Hatteras Inc., v. the USS Hatteras (1984) and U.S. v. Richard Steinmetz (1992, also known as the "Alabama bell case"). The treatment of historic naval aircraft throughout the world's oceans has also conformed to these laws.

http://www.tcmuseum.org/shipwrecks/
Home Archaeology Astrolabe Newsletter Become A Museum Member ... Trustees Search Go Shipwrecks One estimate is that there are over 1000 Shipwrecks in the waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands. What we know about most of them are cryptic mentions in obscure records, details in shipping records, records taken at the time of Hurricanes, and so on.
Only two Shipwrecks in the Waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands have been properly recorded. These are the Molasses Reef Shipwreck and the Endymion.
So what about the rest of the wrecks?
The Turks and Caicos Islands Government, along with the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources, The National Trust and the National Museum are given the task to protect the wrecks and to prohibit any work that will ruin or corrupt the site and that would limit the potential scientific recovery of the information from the wrecks at a later date.
Are there any Treasure Ships?
Yes, but not in the commonly held sense. The Museum sees all wrecks as "treasure" ships but the treasure is not gold or silver: it does not have a financial value. What we see as treasure is the information that we can retrieve from the wreck, and in most cases, through historical document research and limited survey we gain this information.
We must add here that there are few true "treasure ships". In most cases hunts for these ships are fruitless and expensive. The Museum along with many international organisations believes that searching for "treasure ships" takes away from the real search - that of recovering information. A ship that sank whilst trading salt is just as important as a ship carrying gold!

Welcome to Dave Fortin ’s Homepage! Okay, time to add some text here! I was getting a lot of grief over the picture that I had here before. So, Amy (my daughter) and I headed to the beach for something that will hopefully be a bit better. Personally, I think it is the subject that is the problem, so there probably isn’t much hope! J The scene in the picture above is taken on Emon beach looking across the Kwajalein Lagaoon in the Marshall Islands You can see a WWII vintage LCM still operating as it shuttles the Marshallese workers between Ebeye and Kwajalein This page is just starting out, so bear with me. Many things are simply placeholders. I will be working on them as time permits. I am just now (December 2003) getting back to updating the pages, so expect more updates in the near future. The main purpose of this page was to put out some of my underwater photos that I have been taking here on Kwajalein. I have been pretty active in scuba diving and I have a section on critters and one on shipwrecks. I hope that you enjoy the photos.

Excavation and conservation of the Belle one of the earliest and most important shipwrecks ever found in North America. Photographs from the Texas Historical Commission.
http://www.thc.state.tx.us/lasalle/lasbelle.html
La Salle Shipwreck Project Model of the Belle The Belle is one of the most important shipwrecks ever discovered in North America. The excavation, conducted in a cofferdam in Matagorda Bay, lasted almost a year and produced an amazing array of finds, including the hull of the ship, three bronze cannons, thousands of glass beads, bronze hawk bells, pottery and even the skeleton of a crew member. The one million artifacts represent a kit for building a 17th-century European colony in the New World. The project has now shifted to the conservation phase, in which every artifact is carefully identified, cleaned and preserved. The hull of the ship has also been reconstructed and is undergoing chemical treatment to preserve it. Many Belle artifacts are currently displayed at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, and others will be exhibited in museums around Matagorda Bay.

Shipwrecks of Delaware and Maryland
GARY GENTILE'S POPULAR DIVE GUIDE SERIES
As suggested by the title and series name, this volume covers the most well-known wrecks sunk off the geographical coasts of Delaware and Maryland. For each of the wrecks covered, a statistical sidebar provides basic information such as the dates of construction and loss, previous names (if any), tonnage and dimensions, builder and owner (at time of loss), port of registry, type of vessel and how propelled, cause of sinking, location (loran coordinates if known), and depth. In most cases, an historical photograph or illustration of the ship leads the text. Throughout the book is scattered a selection of color underwater photographs, some of the wrecks, more often of typical marine life found in the area. Each volume is full of fascinating narratives of triumph and tragedy, of heroism and disgrace, of human nature at its best and its basest. These books are not about wood and steel, but about flesh and blood, for every shipwreck saga is a human story. Ships may founder, run aground, burn, collide with other vessels, or be torpedoed by a German U-boat. In every case, however, what is emphatically important is what happened to the people who became victims of casualty: how they survived, how they died. Also included are descriptions of the wrecks as they appear on the bottom. At the end of each volume is a bibliography of suggested reading, and a list of more than 400 loran numbers of wrecks in and adjacent to the area covered.
