Are you interested in ships and seafaring, history, early man, and archaeology? Covering nearly 3/4 of the Earth’s surface, water is the source of all life on our planet. Beneath the surface of our oceans, lakes, rivers, and wetlands lies a physical record of humankind preserved in prehistoric and historic shorelines, shipwrecks, inundated cities, harbors, and other traces of our past.
Dive into our web site and discover for yourself the many facets of underwater archaeology and the people and projects worldwide that are involved in this fascinating field.

The ACUA is pleased to announce that this year we have selected Jean-Sebastien Guibert of the University of the French West Indies as the recipient of the ACUA George Fischer Student Travel Award.
Jean-Sebastien is a PhD student under Danièle Bégot and studying maritime history of the West Indies as seen through shipwrecks and the relationship between the two fields. He is specifically looking at two shipwrecks found in Guadeloupe.
The award is $1,000, which has been generously donated by the PAST Foundation, and it will be presented to Jean-Sebastien at the SHA Business Meeting on Friday evening.
The ACUA would also like to thank the PAST Foundation for the continuing support and to George as well. Thanks also to the members of the jury and other contributors to the process for this year, namely Ian Oxley, Lynn Harris, Dolores Elkin and Amanda Evans.
