 , construction crews excavating along the Alexandria waterfront revealed t
 he broken remains of four 18th-century wooden ships in what was once the s
 horeline of the Potomac River. To study them\, each ship was disarticulate
 d and the individual timbers were laser scanned\, allowing researchers to 
 virtually reassemble the ships and develop theoretical reconstructions of 
 how they would have looked when they were in use. These highly accurate di
 gital timber models were 3D printed and assembled by a master ship model m
 aker\, further informing these reconstructions. The four ships are now on 
 two different preservation journeys. The Hotel Indigo ship was sent to the
  Conservation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for conservation
  by freeze drying\, and the three Robinson Landing ships were submerged in
  a pond at Ben Brenman Park this spring. Hear the latest findings and disc
 over what was learned through digitally reconstructing the four ships.  \n
 \nChristopher Dostal is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Anth
 ropology's Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University\, where he
  is also the Director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservat
 ion\, the Conservation Research Laboratory\, and the Director of the Analy
 tical Archaeology Laboratory in charge of scanning the four 18th century s
 hips excavated in Alexandria. He holds his degrees from Texas A&M Universi
 ty (Ph.D.)\, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research and w
 ork includes historical maritime archaeology of North America and Western 
 Europe\, the conservation and long-term preservation of waterlogged archae
 ological artifacts\, preservation and documentation techniques for underwa
 ter archaeological sites\, X-ray fluorescence elemental analysis of archae
 ological artifacts\, and digital imaging and 3D modeling of archaeological
  artifacts. \n\nLocation:  Virtual Only\nContact Person: Emma Richardson\n
