IMH Underwater Archaeology: Collecting Data at Depth

Carolin McManus
At the February 13 CCASM meeting Carolin McManus spoke about IMH’s work monitoring the U-1105 submarine near Piney Point, MD, as well as a Defense POW/MIA mission IMH divers completed in Germany and other ongoing projects in the Chesapeake Bay.  Carolin also brought the equipment she "wears" on a dive.

The Institute of Maritime History (IMH) is a non-profit educational organization of volunteers who conduct underwater archaeological reconnaissance and research for federal, state and local agencies.

Carolin is one of the most active divers and researchers with IMH.  In her weekday job, she teaches cultural studies, film, and communications at the College of Southern Maryland in Leonardtown.
