The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
Digging into the Past
with
Author & Maritime Archaeologist Matthew Lawrence
    Exploring Shipwrecks of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary


BREWSTER, MA ­The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History in Brewster continues its popular 
archaeology/history series, Digging into the 
Past, with author and maritime archaeologist, 
Matthew Lawrence Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 1pm.

Stellwagen Bank sanctuary encompasses historic 
shipping routes and fishing grounds used for the 
past 400 years. During that time, New England's 
stormy weather and the density of traffic passing 
between Cape Cod and Cape Ann have led to 
hundreds of shipwrecks. Sanctuary research has 
begun to tell these stories through 
archaeological investigation. Join sanctuary 
archaeologist Matthew Lawrence as he peers into 
the past with stories of these shipwrecks, 
historic photographs, and underwater video that 
will let you virtually "walk their decks."

Matthew Lawrence is a maritime archaeologist 
working for the Stellwagen Bank National Marine 
Sanctuary headquartered in Scituate, MA.   A 
graduate of East Carolina University’s Program in 
Maritime Studies, Matthew's professional research 
interests include nineteenth century steam 
navigation and the U.S. coasting trade. In 
addition to the Stellwagen Bank sanctuary, he has 
conducted archaeological fieldwork in the 
American Samoa, Olympic Coast, Channel Islands, 
Thunder Bay, and Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuaries.

Signed copies of the recently published 
"Shipwrecks of Stellwagen Bank: Disaster in New 
England's National Marine Sanctuary" will be 
available to purchase from the author.

  Free with Museum Admission
