Featured Event:
Hans Van Tilburg: China's Maritime History and the Nanhai #1 Wreck
Hans Van Tilburg, formerly with NOAA, has research interests focused on the maritime archaeology of Asia and the Pacific. China's long history, even when dominated by an agrarian empire, boasts a considerable maritime legacy. Much of this maritime activity was conducted by private commerce, not recorded, and lost to the past. Today, underwater cultural heritage offers a fascinating glimpse of China's maritime trade. In fact, what was once reviled as imperialistic history has now been revived as evidence of friendly global relations along the ancient routes of the Maritime Silk Road. This talk features China's maritime history and the recovery of the Nanhai #1 wreck, a merchant vessel from the Song Dynasty.
After the presentation we will conduct MAHS organizational and business matters.
The meeting will be conducted by Zoom technology and is open to all members and current Introductory Course students, who will receive a Zoom invitation and link on the day of the meeting. We look forward to seeing you then.
