Lessons of a Sunken Ship

By Shay Zeller on Wednesday, October 12, 2005.

The Lizzie Carr crashed on a reef off of New Hampshire's craggy coastline 100 years ago, and it stayed buried there for nearly a century. Once it was discovered, it opened up a world of discovery for Maritime Archeologist David Switzer. We'll talk with Dr. Switzer about his work unearthing the wreckage and about what it can tell us about the past. David Switzer is a professor emeritus of History at Plymouth State University. He'll give a presentation about the Lizzie Carr this Wednesday as part of the school's "Archaeology Month."
