While Dr. Smith manned topside operations, Anne and
Fritz began mapping. Anne mapped frames 10–20 while Fritz mapped frames
20-30. The mapping process records as many details of each frame as
possible. By taking the framing in sets of ten, each archaeologist can
concentrate and easily catch any mistakes when transferring the data
after the dive. By measuring the dimensions of each frame and the
spacing of frames we can begin to understand the architecture of the
ship.
John Foster, California State Park Senior
Archaeologist, and Rick Fitzgerald, Associate State Archaeologist joined
us in the afternoon. During the afternoon dives we continued to map the
frames completing the basic measurements for almost all the frames, as
well as the stempost and keel fragment. John shot video of the frames
and stempost capturing details along the hull both inside and out.
A great day with lots of mapping and measuring!
