"If I'm going from one project to another, I'm reading everything from technical details on a boiler being put together to the type of lamps that they're using. You get down into the details, as well as the big sweeps of history, because I love what I do." - Dr. James P. Delgado

How do you document a wreck? We talk with Jim about the investigation of the US Navy destroyer USS Stewart. The Stewart is a century-old US Navy destroyer that earned the unenviable distinction of serving under both American and Japanese flags during World War II. 

We also learn about diving, and Jim's everyday work. With over 45 years in the trenches, he still has the passion.
