In parallel to all this activity, our highly innovative learning and outreach programmes continue to inspire both young and old – of all abilities – by using our collection to bring history alive, to reveal unexpected things, to excite, and to have fun. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Learning Centre has proved its great value and will continue to operate through the period of closure, as will the shop and café in the Entrance Pavilion. HRH Prince of Wales with Michael Aiken 4 The Mary Rose Trust Dr Margaret Rule CBE (1928 - 2015) By 1978 the initial excavation work had uncovered an intact ship structure. However, a full excavation also meant removing the protective layers of silt that prevented the remaining timbers from being destroyed, an expensive operation that would have to be completed within a short timescale. The decision was made to raise the ship and in 1979 the Mary Rose Trust was formed, under the presidency of the HRH The Prince of Wales, to provide the funding for a full-time salvage operation, with Margaret Rule as its chief archaeologist. Between 1979 and 1982 Margaret Rule and the team made an estimated 26,640 dives. Over 19,000 artefacts were recovered over the years, leading to the eventual raising of the ship on 11 October 1982. The project remains to this day the world’s largest underwater excavation and recovery and is a testament to the hard work and dedication In April we were deeply saddened by the death of Margaret of Margaret and the team.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 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 Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
    Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

  • Technologies for Underwater Archaeology and Maritime Preservation
    Technologies for Underwater Archaeology and Maritime Preservation September 1987 NTIS order #PB88-142559 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Technologies for Underwater Archaeol- ogy and Maritime Preservation— Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-37 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1987). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619848 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form on the last page of this background paper) Foreword Exploration, trading, and other maritime activity along this Nation’s coast and through its inland waters have played crucial roles in the discovery, settlement, and develop- ment of the United States. The remnants of these activities include such varied cul- tural historic resources as Spanish, English, and American shipwrecks off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts; abandoned lighthouses; historic vessels like Maine-built coastal schooners, or Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks; and submerged prehistoric villages in the Gulf Coast. Together, this country’s maritime activities make up a substantial compo- nent of U.S. history. This background paper describes and assesses the role of technology in underwater archaeology and historic maritime preservation. As several underwater projects have recently demonstrated, advanced technology, often developed for other uses, plays an increasingly important role in the discovery and recovery of historic shipwrecks and their contents. For example, the U.S. Government this summer employed a powerful remotely operated vehicle to map and explore the U.S.S. Monitor, which lies on the bottom off Cape Hatteras. This is the same vehicle used to recover parts of the space shuttle Challenger from the ocean bottom in 1986.

Ces pratiques commerciales causent une controverse vive et enflammée au sein du monde archéologique. Le principal point de litiges concerne la mise en vente des objets extraits lors de fouille. La mise en marché du patrimoine archéologique éveille les fibres protectionnistes. Cela incite certains organismes à poser des gestes pour la protection du patrimoine. C’est le cas pour l’UNESCO qui fait la promotion depuis 2001 d’une Convention pour la protection du patrimoine submergé. Malgré tous les arguments à l’encontre des compagnies de « chasse aux trésors », cette Convention est loin de faire l’unanimité des gouvernements à travers le monde, qui ne semblent pas prêts à rendre ces pratiques illégales.

COTTON MATHER’S WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD: AN AUTHORITATIVE EDITION by PAUL M. WISE Under the direction of Reiner Smolinski ABSTRACT In Wonders of the Invisible World, Cotton Mather applies both his views on witchcraft and his millennial calculations to events at Salem in 1692. Although this infamous treatise served as the official chronicle and apologia of the 1692 witch trials, and excerpts from Wonders of the Invisible World are widely anthologized, no annotated critical edition of the entire work has appeared since the nineteenth century. This present edition seeks to remedy this lacuna in modern scholarship, presenting Mather’s seventeenth-century text next to an integrated theory of the natural causes of the Salem witch panic. The likely causes of Salem’s bewitchment, viewed alongside Mather’s implausible explanations, expose his disingenuousness in writing about Salem. Chapter one of my introduction posits the probability that a group of conspirators, led by the Rev.
