=Spanish Galleon Shipwreck=

NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION 2000 Ocean Blvd. Newport News, Virginia

Department Chair Department of Marine Archaeology Any University, USA The National Oceanographic Association (NOA) announces the opportunity for university marine archaeologists to submit a proposal for the chance to excavate a recent discovery of a Spanish Galleon. The galleon was found at the Key Largo Coral Reef in the National Marine Sanctuary. The shipwreck was located by NOA's Coastal operation which analyzes bottom habitats. Evidence suggests this is a major find of a Spanish galleon that has never been touched. Furthermore, preliminary observations suggest that this was a flagship carrying a great deal of treasure from the Americas to Spain in the late 16th century. NOA requests all interested universities submit a proposal for this excavation. The proposal needs to include:
 * How the team will carry out the marine excavation.
 * What difficulties you anticipate you will encounter.
 * A plan for the preservation of objects.
 * A list of what precautions and concerns the team will take in excavating in the coral reefs.
 * A list of what objects may be found at the site based on documentation from other excavations.
 * An explanation of the historical significance of these objects.
 * A summary of the history of the conquest of the Americas for the eventual presentation of objects found.
 * A list of where the objects were originally from so they may be returned after the exhibition.

All proposals are due on _. Late proposals will not be accepted.

Sincerely, Patrice Rosen Executive Director, NOA
