Dr. Calvin Mires: We have a group of students - five students from Bridgewater State
University - who are going through
Bridgewater State University Cape Cod to
document a unidentified shipwreck at
Sage Lot Pond.
Michael Peterson: Today my role has been to
clear off parts of the ship so that we
can actually get some dimensional mappings of them.
Catherine Dwyer: I really enjoy that
Bridgewater State does something like
this because it speaks to the unique
aspects of each class. I wouldn't be
offered a class like this at any other college.
We're not sure why the shipwreck is here. In fact there are no historical documents that we're aware of and
we're trying to solve a mystery that's maybe 100 to 150 years old and our
students are out here to create the
first archaeological site map of this shipwreck.
Dwyer: I wanted to take this class so that I could kind of get out of my comfort zone,
I could do something that was outside my
major and I wanted to do something
outside and fun, so why not a week-long
class on the beach?
