For the past two seasons, volunteers and archaeologists have been excavating and documenting a 17th century shipwreck, the Warwick, in Bermuda. The Warwick project is a National Museum of Bermuda (NMB) project in partnership with Texas A&M & Institute of Nautical Archaeology and in association with The Global Exploration and Oceanographic Society (G-EOS) and Department of Archaeology,
University of Southampton. The project is under the direction of Dr. Katie Custer-Bojakowski and Dr. Piotr Bojakowski,(NMB underwater archaeologists) and has benefited enormously from the insights of Dr. Kevin Crisman (Texas A&M), Dr. John Adams (U of Southampton), Dr. Ed Harris (NMB) and Dr.
Krum Batchvarov (Vasa Museum)
