IKUWA7 – 7TH International Congress for Underwater Archaeology

The ‘International Congresses on Underwater Archaeology’ have become an important part of the programme to exchange information and experience in this important and still growing branch of archaeology. The proceedings of the first five conferences (in Germany, Zurich, London, Croatia and Spain) have been published; and that of the sixth, held in Western Australia, is under way.

The Foundation is offering the opportunity for postgraduate students from the eastern Mediterranean region* to apply for support in the form of bursaries to attend the conference. The amount of the bursary is a lump sum to cover the costs of transportation, accommodation, registration and visas (if required).

The Foundation is offering up to five bursaries for postgraduate students and early career researchers to attend the conference.

Our new five-year grant of £2 million to the University of Southampton’s Centre for Maritime Archaeology will support a partnership with Ulster University and the University of Oxford to document endangered maritime archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa.

There is an urgent need to document endangered cultural heritage in the Middle East and North Africa. The region’s coastal and underwater sites face many threats: conflict, rising sea-levels, and urban and industrial development. Protecting and preserving these sites is vital to our understanding of maritime cultural heritage and its potential benefits to economic prosperity in the region. In many cases, existing research is fragmented and lacks information on sites’ locations, conditions and threats.

The new programme, MarEA, builds on the success of our first archaeology documentation programme – the Endangered Archaeology in the Middle East and North Africa (EAMENA) programme at the University of Oxford. The team will use satellite imagery, published data, archival information and local surveys to comprehensively record and assess threats to maritime and coastal sites in 16 countries in the region. All data will be made freely available on the EAMENA database.

To learn more about the programme, visit the MarEA website.

The purpose of this contract is for a research historian to research, develop and write a fully formatted and publish ready Part III of the HSR.   This HSR Part III is not a condition or physical survey of the vessel but rather a documentation, based on project files and records, of recent treatments.  Confirmation of physical configurations on the vessel, however, may be necessary.

Prior to 2003 numerous projects were undertaken that resulted in configurations that were not historically accurate.  Work since 2003 has focused on returning the vessel to a more historically correct configuration.  In addition to documenting the technical aspects of recent treatments, this HSR Part III should also document the reasoning and research that informed historical corrections.

The C.A. Thayer is one of five historic vessels at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park (SAFR) and is the last surviving example afloat of 122 sailing schooners especially designed for use in the 19th century Pacific Coast Lumber trade.  She was built by Hans Ditley Bendixen at Fairhaven, on Humboldt Bay, in 1895.  C.A. Thayer was large for a three-masted schooner, measuring 452 tons, with a length of 156 feet, beam of 36 feet, an 11 foot 8 inch depth of hold, and was designed to carry 575,000 board feet of lumber.  Despite her size, a small crew could work the handy, bald-headed rig.  At the time, C.A. Thayer represented the highest development of the new economical coastal lumber carrier.  She was listed as a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966 and was subsequently placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A draft Historic Structure Report (HSR) was written for the C.A. Thayer in 1991, but it is far from complete and does not address some important aspects of the ongoing rehabilitation of the vessel. From 2003 – 2006 the vessel underwent a major project to preserve and rehabilitate the ship’s hull, deck and keel. In 2012 the vessel’s internal structural rehabilitation was completed and in 2014 work began to restore her rigging. The park has a goal of having the vessel hauled out in 2019 then again in 2003. Prior to 2003, various restoration efforts were undertaken.

HABS/HAER documentation, photography and historical and descriptive data were recorded in 2004, however, restoration work undertaken on CA Thayer to date has not been formally documented.

The NPS intends to use the HSR Part III document to help define ongoing treatment recommendations in a forthcoming updated full HSR document.
