Many of you are interested in supporting our Summer Survey work. This year's project is the wreck known for many years as 'Guenter's Wreck'. Although little remains of the original structure of the vessel, sufficient evidence is available, many experts believe, to identify its type and period, and perhaps even to be able to name it as a specific ship.
This week a block was placed to enable work on the survey to be undertaken from a mooring. Earlier visits have relied on locating the site and either anchoring nearby or requiring divers to rely for surface support on a boat circulating overhead. Some graduates of the recent Nautical Archaeology Society course held in Kingston are likely to be amongst those working on the wreck in the weeks ahead. Look out for more details shortly - or contact us at info@powkingston.org to offer your support.
We have already enlisted researchers and videographers. Offers of boats to support the survey have also been gratefully accepted. We'll keep you in touch as work proceeds.
