Underwater Achaeology in practice

Have you ever wanted to be an archaeologist and explore the past? This area feels like you are below deck looking out at marine archaeologists at work deep under the sea. Here you can see the barnacle encrusted Alum Bay wooden gun carriage wheel brought up by divers in 2002. It is made of exotic wood that is yet to identified.
