Thanks for the heads up Rick. Don't know much about him except the "Whydah" . Much like many intense and professional fields, that of archaeology, and in this case nautical archaeology, there are tremendous politics and personalities issues it seems.
I had the opportunity for some one on one discussions with some of those involved with a number of shipwreck discoveries, and the extreme intensity became quite apparant.
I'll have to look into that book your recommend

All best regards,
Jim
