Worth a repost of the quality of our archeologist.

I have a lot of respect for Jim Sinclair.

Our Archaeologist, Jim Sinclair, who dives with the teams has confirmed the wreck material we have mentioned this week in our posts. The wreck material we are finding is of the 1715 period. We will be posting in the next couple of days actual dive footage and stills of the material. Seafarer is reposting Jim's bio.
Name: Jim Sinclair, MA
Seafarer Role: Archaeologist
Mr. Sinclair graduated from Franklin Pierce University and credits his career path to two talented professors he met while attending Franklin Pierce. These two professors created an interest in anthropology that later became Mr. Sinclair’s major. While studying anthropology, the university offered a field school called “Underwater Archaeology and Human Coastal Ecology” in the Florida Keys. While attending the field school, guest speakers were invited to speak to the students. One of those speakers was Mel Fisher. It was during that meeting that Mr. Fisher offered Mr. Sinclair an opportunity to help locate and find a Spanish Galleon off of Key West. After graduating from Franklin Pierce, Mr. Sinclair headed to Key West Florida and Mr. Fisher made good on his offer. As we all know now the Spanish Galleon Mr. Fisher was looking for was the Nuestra Senora de Atocha. It is with the Nuestra Senora de Atocha that Mr. Sinclair started his career as an Archaeologist. During his time with Mr. Fisher while recovering the Atocha, Mr. Sinclair was given the responsibility to run and manage the conservatory. The conservatory catalogs and does the restoration of the artifacts. Mr. Sinclair is noted for developing industry standards for the recovery and restoration of historical artifacts while working on the Atocha. Practices that today are industry norms.
In a career that has span more than 35 years, Mr. Sinclair has dove around the world on more than 100 ship wreck sites. He has consulted on as many wrecks as well and has continued the work on improving the processes to recover and restore historically significant artifacts and accurately document the wreck sites. Mr. Sinclair makes it very clear that as an Archaeologist it is important for archaeology and history to gather as much information about wreck sites and their artifacts because it is the only way to interpret the behavior of people that are no longer in this world.
Important with his involvement with Seafarer, Mr. Sinclair has become an expert on the identification, salvage, and preservation of the Spanish Maritime Colonial Fleets both inbound and outbound from the New World. Mr. Sinclair has dove on most of the major wreck sites in and around the Florida waters. For the past twenty plus years ending in January 2014, Mr. Sinclair was the archeologist of record for the known 1715 Plate Fleet wrecks, and he has dove on all the known 1715 sites. He also has expert knowledge on the 1622, and 1733 fleets, and was involved as the archaeologist on a Spanish galleon that sunk off Guam. This wreck was involved in the Manila Galleon Trade. When discussing the 1715 Fleet, Mr. Sinclair noted that by 1715, Spain was so desperate for money because the flow of money from the New World had been halted due to the War of Succession for years and the ships of the 1715 Fleet were over loaded. The amount that Mr. Sinclair believes is most accurate is the 1715 Fleet was transporting 13 Million Pesos to Spain. That is billions in today’s dollars.
When Mr. Sinclair was asked, with your credentials and accomplishments, combined with the ability to be selective to the projects you are involved, wrap that with a career that has spanned more than 35 years, why are you involved with Seafarer Exploration? He replied “I admire the business model and the integrity of Seafarer’s CEO, (Kyle Kennedy). “ When asked what makes SFRX different, Mr. Sinclair stated “Seafarer’s business model is not solely predicated on the sale of treasure, it’s a bundle of opportunities, where the investors get the benefit of the treasure being an asset of the corporation; the archaeological community will not see important and non redundant artifacts peddled on street corners or pawn shops.”
