This field school is a joint project of California State Parks and the PAST Foundation. The course covers hands-on experience with Gold Rush material culture, historical research, mapping maritime landscapes and underwater documentation techniques. Students will learn while working on this new and exciting Gold Rush shipwreck site. The reports from the field school will be delivered to the project partner California State Parks and published online.
