ProposalDescription: 

The Program in Maritime Studies at East Carolina University (ECU) will investigate the Bato shipwreck as part of an academic initiative. Faculty and students will map, draw and photograph the shipwreck for archaeological purposes. A small number of discrete wood samples will be collected for historical analysis purposes.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The project will serve a number of teaching and research objectives for bone fide researchers. It will be utilized as a collaborative maritime archaeology endeavour between ECU and IZIKO museums involving students specializing in this discipline. One of the students, Ivor Mollema who is a Dutch citizen, will be using this data for his MA thesis research project. Other students will receive academic class credit for their participation. The Bato shipwreck is an iconic symbol of the end of Dutch rule at the Cape, and represents a critical era of change in shipbuilding technology. Archaeological and historical investigations have potential to yield data about social, economic and technological trends in European maritime history. We plan to partner with IZIKO to publish this data in professional publications and presentations at local and international conferences.
