  • The Value of Maritime Archaeological Heritage
    THE VALUE OF MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY OF THE CULTURAL CAPITAL OF SHIPWRECKS IN THE GRAVEYARD OF THE ATLANTIC by Calvin H. Mires April 2014 Director of Dissertation: Dr. Nathan Richards Ph.D. Program in Coastal Resources Management Off the coast of North Carolina’s Outer Banks are the remains of ships spanning hundreds of years of history, architecture, technology, industry, and maritime culture. Potentially more than 2,000 ships have been lost in “The Graveyard of the Atlantic” due to a combination of natural and human factors. These shipwrecks are tangible artifacts to the past and constitute important archaeological resources. They also serve as dramatic links to North Carolina’s historic maritime heritage, helping to establish a sense of identity and place within American history. While those who work, live, or visit the Outer Banks and look out on the Graveyard of the Atlantic today have inherited a maritime heritage as rich and as historic as any in the United States, there is uncertainty regarding how they perceive and value the preservation of maritime heritage resources along the Outer Banks, specifically shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic. This dissertation is an exploratory study that combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies from the fields of archaeology, economics, and sociology, by engaging different populations in a series of interviews and surveys. These activities are designed to understand and evaluate the public’s current perceptions and attitudes towards maritime archaeological heritage, to estimate its willingness to pay for preservation of shipwrecks in the Graveyard of the Atlantic, and to provide baseline data for informing future preservation, public outreach, and education efforts.

  • La Tragedia Dell'andrea Doria E La Ragazza Del Miracolo
    La tragedia dell'Andrea Doria e La ragazza del Miracolo con le comunicazioni radio avvenute nel teatro della catastrofe Navighiamo immersi nel vasto oceano della vita. La ragione è la bussola, ma la passione è la tempesta. (Alexander Pope) A Giovanni e a alla lunga tradizione spotornese nella marineria, di ogni epoca. Pinuccio, Enrico, Luca, Presentazione di Bruno Marengo Pinuccio Bausone ci propone un’altra delle sue “invenzioni”, un’opera di pregio, di memoria, sul tragico affondamento di una “nave regina”, l’Andrea Doria, speronata dal transatlantico svedese Stockholm. Lo fa calandosi nei meandri della marineria e valendosi di un consulente esperto: Elvio Piccardo, un caro amico. Lo fa in un modo originale, utilizzando testimonianze e articoli di riviste e giornali d’epoca insieme alle comunicazioni radio avvenute nel teatro della tragedia. Un libro che, come lui stesso mi ha precisato, nasce dalla costola di un lavoro che una decina di anni fa aveva realizzato, con il fratello Enrico e il figlio Luca, per ricordare la vita marinaresca del padre e del nonno Giovanni. Ricordi e ricerca che s'erano concretizzati in un libro, versione on line, molto esaustivo ma con una costruzione che lo rendeva quasi impossibile da mettere su carta. In quel libro, si trovano le vicissitudini che avevano accompagnato Giovanni Bausone nella sua odissea sul mare. C’è anche la tragedia dell'Andrea Doria, ma alcuni particolari sono rimasti un po' in ombra. Da qui, l’idea di Pinuccio di riprendere, in modo più completo, la storia di quel naufragio, in momenti in cui una drammatica pandemia ha sconvolto il mondo.
