Abstract/Description
-
The site of an intentionally abandoned vessel will differ greatly from the site of a shipwreck lost unintentionally. Relatedly, the processes of site development will also differ greatly between these two types of sites. This research illustrates these differences by studying historical contexts of four abandoned vessels located in a cove known as Shields Point found on the Blackwater River in Santa Rosa, Florida. Previous models of shipwreck site development are adapted to include sites of...

Constructed in 1696 in Alvaredo, Mexico, the Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostòl was created to protect Spanish shipping and colonies in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Rosario served in this purpose for nine years until it was wrecked on the shores of Santa Rosa Island in September of 1705. Between 1998 and 2002 the University of West Florida excavated the remains of Rosario. The information recovered from these excavations has allowed for a detailed analysis of the...
Show moreConstructed in 1696 in Alvaredo, Mexico, the Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santiago Apostòl was created to protect Spanish shipping and colonies in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Rosario served in this purpose for nine years until it was wrecked on the shores of Santa Rosa Island in September of 1705. Between 1998 and 2002 the University of West Florida excavated the remains of Rosario. The information recovered from these excavations has allowed for a detailed analysis of the construction of the vessel. From this analysis it appears that while Rosario was constructed in the New World using local materials and labor, the design of the ship aligns closely with the historical record of Spanish warships constructed in that era in Spain.

Abstract/Description

Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, renowned as the "Cradle of Naval Aviation", has been a fundamental pilot training facility for the U.S. Navy since its establishment in 1914. World War I ensured aviation would remain an important aspect of U.S. naval warfare and led to an increased influx of prospective aviation cadets at NAS Pensacola. Subsequent decades of training led to hundreds of training accidents and the loss of naval aircraft in the waters off Pensacola, Florida. Two F8F Bearcat...
Show moreNaval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, renowned as the "Cradle of Naval Aviation", has been a fundamental pilot training facility for the U.S. Navy since its establishment in 1914. World War I ensured aviation would remain an important aspect of U.S. naval warfare and led to an increased influx of prospective aviation cadets at NAS Pensacola. Subsequent decades of training led to hundreds of training accidents and the loss of naval aircraft in the waters off Pensacola, Florida. Two F8F Bearcat wreck sites are discussed here, including the methods involved in aircraft investigation and the historical documents referenced for their identification. Utilizing photogrammetric modeling techniques, the author tests the applicability of photogrammetry as an in situ site-monitoring tool.
