Annual Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology: Louisiana Landscapes, Entrepôts, and Global Currents, 01/03/2018–01/06/2018, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
In 2013, an historic anchor was recovered from the Gulf of Mexico by a contractor working for an offshore energy operator. Because the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement was not notified, the operator was in violation of regulations protecting submerged archaeological resources. A compromise was reached between the bureau and the operator resulting in the transportation of the anchor to the University of West Florida (UWF) for conservation and long-term study purposes. Conservation revealed markings indicating that the anchor was manufactured by R. Flinn & Company in North Shields, England, sometime in the first half of the 19th century.
