"Some of the largest ship graveyards in the world are just vessels stacked together. I've looked at them in Australia, in Bermuda, abandoned vessels in Costa Rica, across the United States. They really are everywhere." - Dr. Nathan Richards About Dr. Nathan Richards Dr. Nathan Richards specializes in maritime archaeological theory and method with a focus on cultural site formation processes of the archaeological record.
