Sara A. Rich, Maritime Archaeologist/Rhode Island School of Design, “A Revolutionary War Shipwreck in the Cooper River” (“A Glorious Cause” series)

*Part of “A Glorious Cause: South Carolina and the American Revolution: A Public History Initiative by the Georgetown County Library,” Dr. Sara A. Rich, a prolific author and maritime archaeologist at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), will delve into the remains of a Revolutionary War shipwreck buried for centuries beneath the murky waters of the SC Lowcountry’s Cooper River. What secret histories can the shipwreck whisper to us from the deep? Dr. Rich’s presentation will be delivered in partnership with the South Carolina Maritime Museum.
The project is made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the South Carolina State Library (SCSL).
