The Life and Times of a Merchant Sailor. The Archaeology and History of the Norwegian Ship Catharine

Издание на английском языке
The remains of the Norwegian ship Catharine were archaeologically documented during the summer of 1998 in the Gulf of Mexico, of Pensacola Beach, Florida. After beginning the study of Catharine, I began to realize that the shipwreck was only one link in a chain of events that connected a single site to local, regional, and transatlantic history. Originally christened as Eliza in 1870, the ship sailed from its building site in St. John, New Brunswick, to Liverpool, England, where she was quickly sold to British owners and renamed Carnarvonshire. Documents indicate that the ship served 20 years in the British Merchant Marine and was eventually sold to Norwegian owners, who she served for four years.
