Item Open Access Master at Sea: Navigation Aboard La Concorde/Queen Anne's Revenge(East Carolina University, May 2024) Baker, NicholasThe La Concorde/Queen Anne’s Revenge shipwreck has a diverse assemblage with research potential that offers valuable insight into life under the pirate Edward Thatch as well as its previous purpose for the transportation of slaves across the Atlantic. As new artifacts continue to be exposed through conservation efforts, the ship’s navigational instruments and possible surveying tools present an opportunity for a unique material culture study that reflects not only their origin and functionality in terms of broader 18th-century navigation methods for pirates, but also how French sailing crews aboard slave ships operated on extended voyages. Included in this collection are instruments such as lead sounding weights, writing slates, a sector, dividers, compass components, and equipment believed to be associated with coastal or terrestrial surveying. These instruments are conserved at the Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Laboratory before being curated and exhibited in the North Carolina Maritime Museum: Beaufort. Each of these instruments were evaluated to determine the navigational needs and training of the pirates who may have used them as well as the French sailors who operated the vessel before its capture by Edward Thatch.Item Open Access The Interconnection of Foodways: An Investigation of Artifacts and the Connections of Three Individual Groups Throughout the Life of La Concorde/ Queen Anne’s Revenge(East Carolina University, May 2024) Hoots, Michaela C.Artifacts recovered archaeologically from La Concorde/ Queen Anne’s Revenge (31CR314) represent three distinct social groups that lived, worked, and were enslaved aboard this vessel, the French La Concorde crew, enslaved Africans, and pirates. Each of these groups acquired, prepared, and ate their food in diverse ways, both on land and at sea. These relate to variables like culture, rank, and time period. This research will focus on the material culture representing foodways, like fragments of brick stoves, faunal remains, cauldrons, pewter sadware, stemware, and cutlery excavated from the wreckage site. It will also compare foodways artifacts to archaeological collections from other slave and pirate shipwrecks. This research initiative aims to add further information and analysis to understanding experiences aboard 18th-century pirate and slave vessels that sailed across the Atlantic. It will contribute towards other themes such as health, slave trade, 18th century piracy, and French maritime history.Item Restricted Return to the Stone Age :the maritime history and nautical archaeology of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin's Dolomite Industry(East Carolina University) Moore, James D.,III.Item Restricted Naval development and the diffusion of nineteenth-century maritime innovation :an archaeological and historical investigation of the Sassacus-class double-ender, USS Otsego(East Carolina University) Diveley, Brian D.Item Open Access Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Pacific: Themes and Future Directions(2021-07-30) McKinnon, Jennifer F.; Jeffery, Bill; Van Tilburg, HansItem Open Access Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Pacific: Themes and Future Directions(2021) Jeffery, Bill; McKinnon, Jennifer F.; Van Tilburg, HansItem Restricted Of maps and monsters : meaning in cartographic ornamentation(East Carolina University) Garrett, Veronica L.Item Restricted The legal choice in a cultural landscape : an explanatory model created from the maritime and terrestrial archaeological record of the Roanoke River, North Carolina(East Carolina University) Friedman, Adam DavidItem Restricted An archaeological and historical survey of a Jeffersonian gunboat(East Carolina University) Enright, Jeffrey M.Item Restricted The schooner as an economic tool in the development of North Carolina's commerce(East Carolina University) Dodds, Tricia J.Item Restricted Historiographical and cultural study of Anglo-American naval edged weapons, 1797-1815(East Carolina University) Wolfe, Sarah CatherineItem Restricted Development of the trireme and naval warfare : Alalia to Salamis(East Carolina University) Williams, Stephen A.Item Restricted Spatial patterning aboard the Millecoquins wreck : interpreting shipboard life and functional use of an early 19th century Great Lakes sailing vessel(East Carolina University) Whitesides, Scott M.Item Restricted Archaeological investigation of the workboat Widgeon : a Chesapeake Bay schooner(East Carolina University) Watts, Jennifer J.Item Restricted A comparative study of the effectiveness of German submarine warfare on the eastern seaboard of the United States in the World Wars(East Carolina University) Blake, SamuelItem Open Access The German barque Peking : history, restoration, and interpretation of a Cape Horn sailing ship(East Carolina University) Reid, Phillip F.Item Restricted Defining her kind : an historical and archaeological investigation of the composite built gunvessel HMS Ready(East Carolina University) Post, Sarah A.
