The Battle of the Egadi Islands Project
Sicily, Italy – Summer 2024
I was a member of RPM Nautical Foundation and the associated international team that recovered, recorded, and 3D modeled Egadi ram 23 at the Battle of the Egadi Islands site. The Battle of the Egadi Islands Project is a cooperative partnership between the Sicilian Soprintendenza del Mare, RPM Nautical Foundation, and the Society for the Documentation of Submerged Sites.
Liverpool Cove Survey

We also cataloged numerous artifacts found at the site, ranging from personal items to tools and equipment. The Liverpool Cove Survey was a nautical archaeology project supported by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA).
