Overview
Each year, the Nautical Archaeology program holds Shipwreck Weekend! Community members of all ages are invited to come to the Anthropology Building on the Texas A&M Main campus, where guest lectures, student speakers, lab tours, and fun activities await! This year's theme is centered on the American Revolution, and we have Jennifer Jones, a curator from the Smithsonian Institute, coming to talk about the Gunboat Philadelphia, the oldest surviving American fighting vessel. If you like American naval and revolutionary history, are curious about our program, or would like a fun and education afternoon for you and your family, come visit us at Shipwreck Weekend!
