This book tells the story of the steamship Robert J. Walker, an
early coastal survey ship for the agency that would later become
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), that
sank with loss of 21 crew off the coast of New Jersey in 1860. The
wreck was a frequent stop for divers and anglers before it was
identified by a team of researchers in 2013. Here, leaders in the
documentation efforts describe the history of the ship and the
archaeology of the shipwreck, emphasizing the collaborative
community participation that made the project successful.James
Delgado and Stephen Nagiewicz highlight the contributions of
government archaeologists from NOAA as well as local divers from
varying backgrounds. Although such groups are not typically known
for working together, they united to achieve the shared goal of
mapping and interpreting this historically significant shipwreck.
Delgado and Nagiewicz show how incorporating local knowledge both
improves archaeological work and empowers community members as
stakeholders, inspiring residents to promote their maritime
heritage.With Contributions from Vincent J. Capone, Matthew S.
Lawrence, Dan Lieb, Deborah E. Marx, Lisa J. Stansbury, Peter F.
Straub, and Albert E. Theberge.
