Folks:

The MUA is excited to announce a new research tool based on experimental
crowd-sourced image collecting. In an effort to capture the changes over
time on an in situ shipwreck, sport divers and archaeologists have
contributed photographs of a single wreck over the span of several years.
Our goal is to recruit additional images from divers who have visited the
site. As the image collection grows so too will the opportunity to study
site formation processes over time.

Our inaugural shipwreck subject is the SS Yongala, submerged in Australian
waters.  Some of the submissions received so far lack detailed information
regarding the specific area of the wreck pictured. We strongly encourage
anyone with additional knowledge of individual photos, the wreck in
general, or further images to contribute to contact us at
[log in to unmask] . We will also consider creating additional galleries
to highlight other appropriate wrecks if there are a sufficient number of
submissions.

This is an experimental project for the MUA; we will continue to refine
the look and feel of the tool based on the level of public participation.
