Uss Monitor, Hl Hunley, Uss ASSESSING THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF HISTORIC WRECK SITES CONTAINING HUMAN REMAINS: USS MONITOR, H.L. HUNLEY, USS ARIZONA, SS CARIBSEA AND HMT BEDFORDSHIRE By Elise Butchart Carroll April 2018 Director: Dr. Lynn Harris Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies This thesis analyzes the complex practices associated with the management of wreck sites that contain human remains through the comparison of two historic eras of ferrous hulled or clad vessels and the differing management approaches. The research seeks to understand the motivation behind management decisions and ascertain if the decisions are linked to a specific variable, such as public significance or association with a specific historic era. Through the examination of management documents and literature associated with each wreck site, the research will reveal commonalities between five case studies that factor into each management decision. ASSESSING THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF HISTORIC WRECK SITES CONTAINING HUMAN REMAINS: USS MONITOR, H.L. HUNLEY, USS ARIZONA, SS CARIBSEA AND HMT BEDFORDSHIRE A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of History East Carolina University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Maritime Studies By Elise Butchart Carroll April 2018 Ó Elise Butchart Carroll 2018 Assessing the Management Practices of Historic Wreck Sites Containing Human Remains: USS Monitor, H.L. Hunley, USS Arizona, SS Caribsea, and HMT Bedfordshire By Elise Butchart Carroll APPROVED BY: DIRECTOR OF THESIS __________________________________ Dr. Lynn Harris, PhD COMMITTEE MEMBER _________________________________ Dr. Donald Parkerson, PhD COMMITTEE MEMBER _________________________________ Dr. Kennetta Perry, PhD CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ______________________________________________________ Dr. Christopher Oakley, PhD DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL ______________________________________________________ Dr. Paul Gemperline, PhD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people I wish to thank for helping me with my thesis. First, I would like to thank my thesis director, Dr. Lynn Harris, for her guidance and support while throughout my research and writing. She was very supportive and accommodating of my hectic work schedule. I would like to thank my committee, Dr. Donald Parkerson, Dr. Kennetta Perry, for their input, expertise, and guidance in my course work and my research. This research would not have been possible without the help from some of the managers of my case studies. Joe Hoyt and Will Sassorossi with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Monitor National Marine Sanctuary provided me with documents about the HMT Bedfordshire management acquisition and clarified some management approaches. Crystal Canterbury for providing me information of the British Cemetery, Paul Mardikian, Emily Schwalbe, and Dr. Brent Fortenberry at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center were invaluable for providing documents and information of H.L. Hunley. I am grateful to Kara Davis, of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, for her advice and help researching SS Caribsea. I would like to acknowledge the service men and women, especially those who perished while on duty. Their commitment and sacrifice is the reason proper wreck site management is crucial to their memory. I would like to personally thank many people for reviewing and editing my thesis including my mom Elizabeth Carroll, my dad Robert Carroll, and Emily Schwalbe. They read my prospectus and thesis drafts time and time again without hesitation. I appreciated the honest feedback and encouragement. I would also like to thank the people who have supported me throughout this writing process, including Seth Cox who provided me with many late-night coffees and endless support. I would like to thank everyone at the Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab, who helped me as much as they could while I was working there, especially Courtney Page who listened to me talk about my thesis extensively. I would like to thank the staff at the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum for supporting me while I finished writing and defending, especially Allyson Ropp, my roommate at the time in St. Augustine, Florida. Lastly, I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me through my education; especially my puppy Sookie, who always listened to me when I needed to talk to someone and while readily providing me with comedic relief when work and school felt overwhelming.

  • 2004.12 QAR Lab Report
    Queen Anne's Revenge Conservation Laboratory Report, December 2004 UAB Conservation Laboratory, Greenville Sarah Watkins-Kenny, QAR Project Conservator Eric Nordgren, Project Assistant Conservator Wendy Welsh, QAR Laboratory Manager In 2000, the Discovery Channel filmed the former QAR Project Conservator, Wayne Lusardi, breaking down the large concretion, QAR418.000, nicknamed `Baby Ruth'. It was given this name because with all the ballast stones stuck to the outside it reminded archaeologists of the chocolate bar. Baby Ruth yielded many artifacts: two small cannon, C19 and C21, as well as ceramic sherds, rope, pipe fragments, glass, nails, cannon shot, cask hoops, gunflints and an array of other objects. Not all of the Baby Ruth artifacts have been conserved, however, some can be seen at the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM) and others, including C19 and C21, are heading there this spring. Another similar looking concretion (QAR 509.000) was recovered in 2001 but has remained in storage since. Originally nicknamed the Baby Ruth II, this concretion has been renamed to Baby Bertha (so as not to confuse!). Concretion QAR 509.000 will be our feature concretion for the next couple of months. At the beginning of December we began the process of breaking down this concretion, fortunately this time not under the pressure of video cameras. Before removing anything from the concretion it was well documented with digital photographs, scaled drawings and weighed (800lbs). Once initial documentation was complete, the first step was to mechanically remove the top layer of shells to outline the ballast stones and to clarify where the stones end and concretion (which will contain artifacts) begins.
