Ship Reconstruction Laboratory

O Professor Dr. Filipe Vieira de Castro dirige o Ship Reconstruction Laboratory, na Texas A§M University - Center of Maritime Archaeology and Conservation (EUA), com projectos que incluem a construção de um modelo de uma nau portuguesa naufragada, partindo dos achados arqueológicos subaquáticos.

The ShipLab was created by J. Richard Steffy in 1976 and today is one of the laboratories of the Centre for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation of the Anthropology Department at Texas A&M University.

Its mission is to acquire and disseminate knowledge about shipbuilding through time. As a classroom its main objective is to provide an effective learning environment. As a research laboratory its objective is to facilitate investigation, seek public and private research funds, and recruit and retain quality students for its projects.

As an outreach institution it aims at providing information, education, and guidance about the discipline of nautical archaeology and the importance of the world's submerged cultural heritage, perhaps more than ever threatened by treasure hunting.
