Underwater Archaeology: Maple Leaf Shipwreck

Merritt Island Public Library 1195 N Courtenay Pkwy, Merritt Island, FL, United States

Students explore the basics of underwater archaeology through “excavating” the Maple Leaf shipwreck tarp. They will uncover artifacts and map them in place to determine what they can tell us about the shipwreck. The Maple Leaf was a Union supply ship that wrecked in the St. Johns River in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville.
