<em>HMS Fowey</em> Anchor - Public Domain image, National Parks Gallery

description

Summary

Since 1983, the archeological remains of <em>HMS Fowey</em> (1744) have been under the management of the United States National Park Service (NPS) who have consistently documented the deterioration of the fragile site due to a combination of both human and natural forces. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy, like most major meteorological events in the area, caused significant and irreparable damage to the site. As a result, a major archeological investigation was conducted in 2013 by the NPS to document the surviving portions of the wreck, develop a stabilization plan to preserve the site in situ, and draft an international agreement with the United Kingdom formally establishing the NPS as the custodian of the wreck. The ongoing project resulted in multi-disciplinary research effort to explore, develop, and implement new management strategies previously untested in North America to preserve the archeological remains of <em>HMS Fowey</em> for the enjoyment and education of future generations.(Josh Morano, NPS)
