The Center for Wooden Boats'
Lake Union Archaeology Project has already gotten a decent amount of local press, starting with this
Seattle Times article written by
Three Sheets Northwest's Deborah Bach and followed by a shorter article in the
Post-Intelligencer. I can't help but tout this, though, because the underwater survey of wrecks and remains, overseen directly by the CWB's Dick Wagner, is just too interesting. I have known a handful of underwater archaeologists during my old academic life, from the grad students at Cal Berkeley to the
insane divers who helped us survey the cove at
Three Saints Bay on Kodiak Island. Fact is, the murky, 45-degree waters of Lake Union sound intense enough. You can read all about the project at its own site (linked above), but I wanted to highlight a few wrecks and their stories. OK, maybe this is just an excuse to write about them...
