This project could not have occurred without the assistance of the National Geographic Society and the Waitt Foundation for Discovery (in particular Mark Christmas, Chris Sloan, and Dr. Fabio Amador). Additionally, Dr. Edward Harris, Elena Strong, Andrew Harris and other staff of the Bermuda Maritime Museum and Dr. Philippe Rouja and Mandy Shailer of the Department of Conservation Services, Government of Bermuda were pivotal in providing the support and logistics for fieldwork. We would like to thank Mr. Calvin Trott and Mr. Dwayne Trott of the Bermuda Sea Cadets (T.S. Admiral Somers) for their hospitality with lodgings. Important logistical support and advice came from other employees at East Carolina University, including Melody Bentz (Grants and Contracts, Research and Graduate Studies), Steve Sellers (Director, Diving and Water Safety, Institute for Coastal Science and Policy), and Dr. John Chinn (Director, University Office of Research Compliance and Administration, Research and Graduate Studies). We would also like to thank Jimmy Moore, PhD candidate at the University of Rhode Island for his assistance with corrosion analysis. Last but not least, Kurt Knoerl and Michelle Damian have our appreciation for the concepts, design and construction of this digital exhibit with the Museum of Underwater Archaeology.
