SUMMARY:Beyond Shipwrecks: Engaging the Past Across the Generations
DESCRIPTION:Across the world’s oceans\, UNESCO estimates that more than three million shipwrecks rest on\nthe seafloor. Yet this represents only a fraction of our underwater cultural heritage (UCH).\nLakes\, rivers\, estuaries\, and inland waterways hold their own archives of human movement and\ninnovation. Beyond shipwrecks lie submerged airplanes\, landscapes\, settlements\, and industrial\nsites—a vast\, largely unseen record of culture and the pathways people have traveled for\ngenerations. These places offer powerful gateways for engaging people of all ages because they\nnaturally connect the humanities and the sciences. They embody the most advanced science\,\nengineering\, technology\, and problem solving of the past\, while advancing innovative STEM\napplications today. Whether someone is writing coding workflows that help process and interpret\ndata\, piloting underwater robotics\, identifying objects in underwater photos\, building a virtual\ndive in a game engine\, or printing a scaled model of a wreck\, these hands on experiences invite\npeople to interact directly with science and history and feel the spark of discovery. Yet it is the\nshared human experience embedded in these sites— indelible histories of travel\, adaptation\,\ningenuity\, and loss—that connects the past with the present and inspires the future. Drawing on\nmore than 30 years in education and maritime archaeology\, Dr. Calvin Mires explores how\nmoving beyond shipwrecks expands the possibilities for public engagement. By reframing\nunderwater heritage as a living\, interdisciplinary resource\, we can spark curiosity across many\npursuits of knowledge and connect communities to the waterways around them.
