Feature Exhibits
The following exhibits provide a more detailed look at their subjects. Project-specific exhibits such as the CSS Alabama or the Sloop Industry are divided into three sections: Historical Background, Methodology, and Findings. These exhibits are typically based on published reports prepared by the project's principal investigator. The Children’s Exhibit is a thematic introduction to underwater archaeology.
A Children's Introduction to
Underwater Archaeology
This exhibit describes the six steps of an underwater archaeology project: historical background, search, recording, analysis, conservation, and publishing. Different activities introducing each step await explorers of all ages.
