Historical Archaeology(2022)
Abstract
This article presents the results of a multiyear project begun in 2015 at the Saintes Bay Wreck site, French West Indies (FWI), funded by the Département des recherches archéologiques subaquatiques et sous-marines (DRASSM, Department of Submarine and Undersea Archaeological Research), Guadeloupe région, of the French Ministry of Culture, and the Direction des patrimoines, de la mémoire et des archives (DMPA, Department of Heritage, Memory and Archives) of the French Ministry of the Army. The wreck is identified as Anémone , a French navy schooner, built in Bayonne, France, in 1823, that sank during the hurricane of 7–8 September 1824. The ship was used as a patrol and customs ship in Guadeloupe to fight against the illicit slave trade. Presented here are the results of the project’s underwater excavations, analyses, public-outreach efforts, and funding support.
