Nautical Archaeology Workshop 2018

Event Phone: (419) 214-5000
Admission Price: $170
One of the cornerstones of of the shipwreck research program at the National Museum of the Great Lakes is its training program run in conjunction with the Maritime Archaeology Survey Team. This training program has trained over 350 avocational archaeologists over the last 15 years. The training is over three days: April 28-29 and either May 19 or 20. You do not have to be a SCUBA diver to take the training.

There are two levels of training: Basic and Advanced.

Basic
Over the course of three days, our Basic Workshop will teach students the basics of surveying a shipwreck. We will cover:
Ship Terms, Laws and Ethics, Research, Survey Tools, and Trilateration (the technique we use to measure shipwrecks) as well as much more.

Advanced
The Advanced class is for people who have already completed the Basic training and cannot be taken at the same time. The Advanced class will build upon what was learned in the Basic workshop and shape the students to begin to work, research, and study their own project.

The workshop is designed for divers and non-divers. The work is also appropriate for novice or new divers. The cost of the class is $170 and covers all materials needed, breakfast and lunch in April, as well as the dinner program April 28. Please note: this is a three day class – a full weekend in April with classroom and dry run practicals. Then one of two days in May (19 or 20) for in-water practice.

In conjunction with the training, MAST will host their annual meeting and dinner program. This is open to everyone. You can find more information about the dinner program here. For questions, please contact Carrie Sowden at shipwreck@inlandseas.org.
There are no events happening in the near future.
