The Nauti Archaeologist PodcastThe Nauti Archaeologist PodcastCofferdam CannonsRene-Robert Cavelier Sieur de la Salle was an arrogant monk-turned-adventurer (this sounds like the start of a D&D campaign) responsible for most of the French expansion in the Great Lakes area and along the Mississippi River. Of course, as an adventurer, he's used to loss, but his final expedition was particularly plagued by shipwrecks (multiple), snake bites, prickly pear incidents, and Indigenous nations. Tough break.

A brilliant tactician, Arnold met the British on Lake Champlain at the Battle of Valcour Island -- arguably America's first naval encounter. Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. Neither had a good time.

In the meantime, check them out!

Scientists conducted over 22,000 dives to the wreck between 1984 and 1994, collecting thousands of artifacts that give us a glimpse of Bronze Age merchant trade and what a ship laden with gifts fit for a queen looks like 3,000 years later. Joined again by Dr. Jim Delgado, we look into the impact the Uluburun wreck has had on the archaeological sphere since its discovery and excavation. Let's get wet, nerds.

Good, now that I've got your attention, Dr. Mike Perrin, ARIUA, discusses the Hatsushima Island shipwreck, and its possible place on the Tokugawa Timeline. Time to get wet, nerds.

Inspired by the shipwreck rumors on the Northwest Oregon coast, seemingly confirmed by the artifacts washing ashore, no one was aware of the true story – the political maneuvering, powerful religious figures, bribery, smuggling, a trial, and a daring escape from port that doomed the Manila Galleon, Santo Cristo de Burgos, to its final resting place in the Pacific.

In episode 44 of Overthink, Ellie and David dive into “heteropessimism,” the sense of disillusionment or even shame associated with heterosexuality. From viral TikTok videos to studies showing that women are less dissatisfied than men in heterosexual relationships, post #metoo society is reckoning with the everyday sexism of many relationships. Ellie and David explore the reasons for heteropessimism, consider alternatives such as political lesbianism and boys' education, and ask: how can we be attracted to things that are bad for us, and how can we break out of a heteropessimistic approach to love?Works Disc...2022-02-0158 minBetween Lewis & LovecraftBetween Lewis & LovecraftCorrespondence: Writer Lauren Coontz on archeology, fairy tales, and the Manson family murdersLauren Coontz is an Army veteran who studied anthropology in college before deciding to become a journalist. She’s also a fairy tale enthusiast, which is what we planned to spend the bulk of the episode discussing, but we went off on a million tangents including human sacrifice, her least favorite sergeant and his inappropriate shorts, and how prosecutors may have screwed up the investigation into infamous murderer Charles Manson. As a warning, Lauren quite possibly swears more than any guest we’ve had on yet, so if that offends you, f*** off.   Follo...2021-09-291h 14The Nauti Archaeologist PodcastThe Nauti Archaeologist PodcastLa Salle’s La Belle (part 1)Today we talk about the doomed French expedition to find the Mississippi River Delta (again) to colonize it first over a petty feud with Spain. They missed the Mississippi River by a long shot and ended up in a west Texas bay leading into the Gulf thinking “I don’t remember it being this small”. This is a story of incompetence at the highest of levels.2021-04-131h 04The Nauti Archaeologist PodcastThe Nauti Archaeologist PodcastHMS Erebus and HMS TerrorFranklin's Lost Expedition of 1845 lost all 129 men during what was meant to be a 2 year voyage. Beset in ice, the crew abandoned ship and trekked across the Arctic tundra for help, only to disappear, never heard from again. The crew and their ships, the HMS Terror and the HMS Erebus, remained a mystery for over 100 years until Parks Canada found them in 2016. Research has been ongoing ever since! Join me as I talk about the history behind the ships that eluded explorers for years, and a mystery that still needs answers.2021-03-0958 minThe Nauti Archaeologist PodcastThe Nauti Archaeologist PodcastIntro and TrailerWe will do a 10 episode season for shipwrecks with 10 minisodes on a submerged city per season.
