Maritime Archaeology and
Shipwrecks of Manitowoc County:
Hungry for History
Wednesday, November 12 at 5 pm at Branch Station
Designated in 2021, Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary (WSCNMS) provides stewardship for our nation's maritime heritage in Lake Michigan. Co-managed by NOAA and the State of Wisconsin, the sanctuary expands on the state's 30-year management of these historic sites, bringing new opportunities for research, resource protection, and education. WSCNMS Research Coordinator and Maritime Archaeologist, Caitlin Zant, will be presenting on the sanctuary, maritime archaeology, and shipwrecks of Manitowoc County.
"Caitlin Zant is the Research and Communications Specialist of NOAA’s Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary. Prior to this, Caitlin worked as a Maritime Archaeologist for the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program for over 8 years, after attending graduate school for Maritime Studies at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Caitlin has been involved numerous Great Lakes archaeological projects, public presentations, workshops, and outreach events, and has assisted in nominating over twenty-five Wisconsin shipwrecks to the National and State Register of Historic Places. Prior to becoming a maritime archaeologist, Caitlin studied History, Geography, and GIS at Carthage College, in Kenosha, Wisconsin."
