Extractions: Archaeology is a dynamic field. One aspect, although not used extensively at "Grassy Island", is the sub section of archaeology known as "underwater" archaeology. Underwater excavations are obviously much more costly and difficult than land archeaology. The advantages of underwater archaeology though often make the expense worthwhile. The submergence of the artifacts often results in artifacts that are in very good if not excellent condition unlike the artifacts found in land archaeology. They are also often not far from the surface of the ocean floors and intact for the most part. A limited amount of underwater archaeology was conducted around the island itself. Some artifacts were found such as a plate and clay pipes. The ocean in our area though saw a lot of action so the ocean bed probably has too much to even imagine. They did some work in the area called "admiral's harbour", which is the cove in between Grassy Island and it's neighboring counterpart, George's Island. They hoped to find evidence of french occupation but due to the expense they could only conduct a small search and found mostly english occupation evidence. Further investigation may reveal the evidence they were looking for in time. The majority of marine archaeology is devoted to the recovery of naval architecture (vessels and such). Marine archaeology is really not that much different than that of land archaeology. It involes techniques of cleaning (mechanical, ultrasonic, and chemical), restoration of metal, wood, glass, ceramics, leater; replica production, water and flame proofing, coating and filling polymers, and techniqes to minimize deterioration of, and to conserve archaeological material.
Archaeology Underwater Archaeology (underwater). Twenty six ships have been documented as being sunk in The marine Archaeology Unit of the Canadian Parks Service relocated the http://collections.ic.gc.ca/louisbourg/arcwater.html
Extractions: Mail: Twenty six ships have been documented as being sunk in or near the harbour of Louisbourg between 1713 and 1758. Most were small merchant or fishing schooners, blown ashore in storms and quickly destroyed by the pounding surf. However, the siege of 1758 stands out as the single greatest cause of shipwrecks. Five smaller vessels were deliberatly skuttled in the harbour entrance to block the English advance. To this total, a countless number of smaller boats could also be added. The four largest shipwrecks have been originally located through underwater surveys conducted in 1961 and 1962. The Marine Archaeology Unit of the Canadian Parks Service relocated the wrecks and began more detailed recording during the summers of '86 and '87. This survey was a part of a project to thoroughly document and evaluate the submerged cultural resources of Louisbourg harbour. Emphasis was on developing management plans to preserve and protect these unique and fragile historical wrecks. The plan does not consider closing the wreck to divers; on the contrary, the diving public is encouraged to visit the various wreck sites through a licensed tour operator. However, diving within the harbour is otherwise prohibited by the Harbour Master, a regulation strickly enforced by the Park Warden Service. A visit to the Louisbourg wrecks is a very exhilarating and educational experience. Tides and currents are almost non-existant but visibility during the summer months is often poor because of a persistant plankton bloom and frequent periods of fog. Thus, the cold temperatures (6°C) of early spring and late fall offer the best visibility. Two wrecks in particular, the Célèbre and the Prudent, make the trip particularly worthwhile as well as providing the opportunity to visit the largest and most ambitious reconstruction ever undertaken in Canada.
EVTEK theoretical and practical training in the area of marine archaeology, the (underwater) environment, (underwater) archaeology and history of shipbuilding http://www.evtek.fi/muotoilu/aikuiskoulutus/koulutusohjelmat/marine/info/
Extractions: MARINE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION Course Information Gustav Adolf S/S Sundsborg ... [ In English ] The diploma course in Marine Archaeological Conservation began in September 2000 at the Department of Conservation Studies, Evtek Institute of Art and Design , Vantaa, Finland. This is the first time that a specialised course at the international level has been offered in this field, and it marks a significant shift in the training of marine archaeological conservators. The course is being funded by the Finnish government to promote the conservation of the many well-preserved shipwrecks found in the Baltic Sea, such as the recent discovery of the 1771 Vrouw Maria wreck off the Finnish coast. The training program will prepare conservators for the challenge of preserving these shipwrecks and artefacts either in-situ or after excavation. Sixteen students are currently undertaking the diploma course, including six from abroad. The students come from a variety of backgrounds including conservation, archaeology, art history, physical geography, marine biology and boat building. The course is coordinated by Heikki Häyhä of Evtek Institute and was designed and set up with the assistance of Vasilike Argyropoulos from the Technical Educational Institute in Athens. Christian Degrigny of Arc Antique in Nantes, France arrived in January 2001 to spend six months with the students as a lecturer and coordinator of the practical work.

Extractions: Research in Underwater Archaeology This new program defines maritime archaeology as the study of ships and harbors in their wider social, political, environmental and economic contexts, together with an understanding of coastal and submerged cultural landscapes. Our aim is to relate maritime archaeology to the broader body of archaeological knowledge and theory, rather than treating it as a discrete sub-discipline. FSU has been activly conducting underwater archaeological research since the mid-1950's, longer than any other academic institution. The Department of Anthropology offers PhD, MA, and undergraduate degrees with a focus on underwater archaeology. FSU also houses the Academic Diving Program , one of North America's premier scientific diving institutions, which provides a wide array of diving resources for researchers and students.

Extractions: Ontario's Marine Heritage Barrel of a carronade staring through the rails of the U.S. warship "Hamilton" sunk in 1813 in Lake Ontario Bordering on the four Great Lakes to the south, James and Hudson Bay on the north, and containing thousands of lakes and rivers in between, Ontario is blessed with an abundance of water. The history of the exploration, settlement and commerce of Ontario from the earliest First Nations peoples to the present day is characterised by the important role that its waterways played. First Nations peoples travelled, traded and lived along our province's waterways for many millennia. The early European explorers arrived on and used these same routes. The early sailing vessels they built were used in the fur trade or for military purposes. However, as Ontario's commerce grew with its population, so did the role of commercial shipping. In the absence of railways and roads, the early development and trade of our province was dependant on its lakes and rivers. A century and a half ago it could have been said that Ontario was "Mother" maritime province. The early First Nations villages and camps, the forts, harbours and early sail and steam vessels have all disappeared. Fortunately, they have left us with a record of their passing in the form of archaeological sites. Of all the environments within which these sites occur, none provides the degree of preservation afforded by the cold, fresh water of Ontario's lakes and rivers. The Great Lakes, with their many well preserved shipwreck sites, have become one of the greatest "outdoor" museums of shipping history in the world.

Extractions: This section addresses potential impacts from underwater recovery operations including both archaeological and commercial salvage. It should be noted that whilst they have been grouped together here there can be significant differences between the two types of operation. a. Extent of the activity Marine archaeology and salvage from wrecks has taken place in the past within and adjacent to the Cardigan Bay cSAC. Levels have generally been very low and no known projects are currently in progress. b. Mechanism for effect on the feature Underwater operations (in particular use of tools) and associated boat traffic may cause localised disturbance and will increase underwater noise levels. Use of explosives may in addition result in direct injury or death to dolphins in the locality. Disturbance Removal of substrate during archaeological operations may result in localised smothering of adjacent sea bed communities and possible remobilisation of pollutants bound within the sediments.
