Odyssey Marine Exploration's historic discoveries have captured the world's attention. Odyssey searches the oceans of the world for treasures and artifacts once thought lost forever, and takes great pride in its responsibility to share with the public the material culture and valuable knowledge recovered from its deep-sea expeditions.
As the Curator of Collections for Odyssey Marine Exploration, Ellen Gerth has had the exceptional opportunity to research and document the vast assemblage of artifacts recovered from Odyssey's global deep-ocean archaeological excavations, beginning with its 2003 momentous find, the wreck of the Civil War-era SS Republic. Ms. Gerth looks forward to sharing some of the company's fascinating shipwreck discoveries, while presenting an overview of the pioneering technology and methodology employed by Odyssey during its deep-sea survey and excavation projects. Her presentation will include a unique display of historical shipwreck artifacts selected from Odyssey's permanent collection.
