The Naval War of 1812 and the USS Eagle
  • Professor, George T. Gladys Abell, Endowed Family Chair, Nautical Archaeology Faculty Fellows, MS in Maritime Archaeology and Conservation
  • Nautical archaeology of the post-Medieval Era; construction and outfitting of ships; seafaring, shipboard life, and maritime communities; North American river, lake, and canal navigation; 19th century steamboats and ship propulsion technology; warships and naval technology, 1450-1950; War of 1812 naval design and construction.
  • My interests and research focus on ships, seafaring, and maritime activity in the post-Medieval era (from the 15th to the 20th centuries A.D). Ships of the War of 1812 have been a central interest since 1981 when I recorded the wreck of the U.S. Navy schooner Ticonderoga; this was followed by M.A. and Ph.D. projects on the U.S.N. 20-gun brigs Eagle and Jefferson.
