A test excavation was to be conducted and all loose attractive materials were to be removed and returned to the Western Australian Maritime Museum for conservation and safekeeping. It appeared to be a straightforward task—similar in ethos to many preemptive excavations conducted by the museum’s Department of Maritime Archaeology in previous years. In 1980, barely a year after the wreck had been found, the well-known British maritime archaeologist and theoretician Keith Muckelroy had stated that studies based on early steamships and the like, while interesting and sometimes providing useful display materials for museums, were not archaeology.

  • The Australian Historic Shipwreck Protection Project
    The Australian Historic Shipwreck Protection Project Peter Veth, Andrew Viduka, Mark Staniforth, Ian MacLeod, Vicki Richards and Anthony Barham Abstract Australian wooden shipwrecks represent significant submerged heritage sites with huge potential to inform on historic connections, technological innovation and early colonial behavioural systems. Their archaeological potential is unfortunately often under severe threat from natural and human impacts. The Australian Historic Shipwreck Protection Project has recently been granted a large Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grant to investigate the excavation, reburial and in-situ preservation of wrecks and their associated artefacts, which are at risk. This project will focus on Clarence (1850), a historically significant colonial wooden trading vessel, and brings together the disciplines of behavioural archaeology, maritime archaeology, conservation sciences and maritime object conservation. The vessel lies in Port Phillip Bay in Victoria only a few hours from Melbourne by boat and by land. The overarching theoretical focus will be on shipwreck site formation models as well as the potential of wooden historic wrecks and assemblages to elucidate early colonial history and shipbuilding. One of the main aims of the project is to try and develop a protocol for the rapid excavation, detailed recording and subsequent in-situ preservation of significant shipwrecks and their associated artefacts, at risk. This work will foster the development of a consistent national methodology for shipwreck and artefact storage and preservation underwater and assist in developing a strategy for the in-situ preservation of endangered historic shipwrecks. This work will also be critical to the future development of national, and possibly international, policy and technical guidelines for site managers of historic wrecks.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

    Antislavery and a Modern America: Free Soil in Ashtabula County, Ohio, 1848 Hichael Zakim Honors Thesis Department of History Oberlin College April, 1981 ~lhat patriot's bosom thrills not at the name Of his own native land, nor proudly burns To hear the trumpet's voice sound forth its fame? What true-born son but who indignant spurns The recreant traitor who ungrateful turns His hand against his country and its laws? He knows not much of life who never learns The value o:f that sacred tie which draws The faithful patriot's heart to love his nation's cause. But when upon his much-loved land appears, Amid the wheat, a growth o:f noxious tares, That threaten to destroy in coming years His nation's hope--O, then what anxious cares Weigh down the patriot's heartl He then prepares To thread the path where conscious duty calls-­ Declares :for Truth and Right, and boldly dares To meet oppression and release the thralls That stain his country's honor ere his country:falls.
