New SS Republic Reports Just Released


The latest addition to the Odyssey Marine Exploration website: Two new papers on the SS Republic shipwreck project

The completion of the archaeological excavation of a shipwreck site does not signal the end of work on the project. Additional research and the conservation and documentation process can continue for many years. Although the marine operations and field archaeological teams completed their work on Odyssey's SS Republic project in early 2005, Odyssey's archaeologists, conservation team, researchers, curator, and historians have been continuing work on this groundbreaking project.

In our ongoing effort to share the excitement, knowledge and treasures that we discover, two new scientific papers that detail some of the work on the SS Republic project have just been released: The Shipwreck of the SS Republic (1865). Experimental Deep-Sea Archaeology. Part 1: Fieldwork & Site History and Part 2: Cargo. To read these latest papers, or any of Odyssey’s Archaeological Publications, please visit http://shipwreck.net/featuresarchpapers.php.

These two papers are the first of five planned reports scheduled to be released by Odyssey on the Republic project over the next few months.

Many of the artifacts recovered from the SS Republic are featured in Odyssey's interactive multi-media exhibit SHIPWRECK! Pirates & Treasure, currently on display at Discovery Place in Charlotte, NC - www.discoveryplace.org until January 2010 and featured in our recently updated Photo Gallery at http://www.shipwreck.net/g2/gallery2/v/ShipwreckProjects/ss_republic
