Be part of the dig! Join us for our summer field school next July, 2023.
SEAMAHP in collaboration with MBUAR will be running a hands-on archaeological dig of a foreshore shipwreck, as an accredited course through Salem State University (SSU) in Massachusetts.
Our research is ongoing on a steamship wreck believed to be the City of Rockland on Little Misery Island near Salem. We’ll be delving into the site again next summer, ferrying out to the island each day the tide allows.
Registration will be open in Spring 2023! at http://www.salemstate.edu/summer.

Wondering what it’ll be like? – Check out the gallery for photos from the previous years’ field schools, and read about a student’s experience on site!
