    THE TILE WRECK HER TRUE STORY PETER COLLINGS INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNING AUTHOR, PHOTOGRAPHER & WRECK HUNTER Celebrating 30+ years of publishing Forward by John Womack DEEPLENS.COM 2 DEEPLENS.COM THE TILE WRECK HER TRUE STORY (The silence of the bantinites) CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF THE RED SEA WRECK ACADEMY For Stephan 3 DEEPLENS.COM PREFACE Back in 1993, when I first revealed the true identity of the “SARA H” at Shag Rock as the SS KINGSTON, the announcement was met with sceptesism.15 years on the name SARA H still appears in poorly researched documents, despite the overwhelming evidence. The same applies with the vessels at the centre of this publication, except that in the case of the MV MARCUS the evidence is un deniable, proven beyond any reasonable doubt and indeed has been accepted by most interested parties (see H2O MAGAZINE, the journal of the RED SEA ASSOCIATION, “A Survivors Tale”) In November 2005 a group of 20 leading experts joined me in the Red Sea for a seminar on the wrecks of the Northern Red Sea. Amongst them were marine engineers, maritime historians, researchers and members of our wreck hunting team with an average of 1000+ logged on these wrecks. Also on board was an all- knowing photo journalist (although he didn’t know the CV’s of his fellow passengers). During one of the nightly presentations the facts contained in this publication were presented to the guests, some facts being revealed for the first time, and the guests were encouraged to dispute the evidence, conclusions and facts, and indeed to present counter arguments.

  • Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Radiant Beings: Narratives of Contamination and Mutation in Literatures of the Anthropocene Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristin Michelle Ferebee Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Dr. Thomas S. Davis, Advisor Dr. Jared Gardner Dr. Brian McHale Dr. Rebekah Sheldon 1 Copyrighted by Kristin Michelle Ferebee 2019 2 Abstract The Anthropocene era— a term put forward to differentiate the timespan in which human activity has left a geological mark on the Earth, and which is most often now applied to what J.R. McNeill labels the post-1945 “Great Acceleration”— has seen a proliferation of narratives that center around questions of radioactive, toxic, and other bodily contamination and this contamination’s potential effects. Across literature, memoir, comics, television, and film, these narratives play out the cultural anxieties of a world that is itself increasingly figured as contaminated. In this dissertation, I read examples of these narratives as suggesting that behind these anxieties lies a more central anxiety concerning the sustainability of Western liberal humanism and its foundational human figure. Without celebrating contamination, I argue that the very concept of what it means to be “contaminated” must be rethought, as representations of the contaminated body shape and shaped by a nervous policing of what counts as “human.” To this end, I offer a strategy of posthuman/ist reading that draws on new materialist approaches from the Environmental Humanities, and mobilize this strategy to highlight the ways in which narratives of contamination from Marvel Comics to memoir are already rejecting the problematic ideology of the human and envisioning what might come next.
