Castle Island with our base of operations.

Matt Lawrence, one of the crew chiefs this season. Matt's thesis project, a wreck near Tarboro, was the focus of the first part of last year's field school.

Frank Cantelas, staff archaeologist for the Maritime Studies Program, was on hand to explain the side scan sonar during our overnight trip.

The Privateer was needed to pull the Perkins away from the dock. The flooding after Hurricane Floyd changed the river bottom of the Pamlico. The Perkins now sits on a sand bar and becomes imbedded during low tide.
