Partnerships

The live broadcast from the coal schooners Frank A. Palmer and Louise B. Crary is supported by the following partners:

The Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary

Congress designated the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in 1992 as an area of special national significance. SBNMS sits astride the historic shipping routes and fishing grounds for such ports as Boston, Gloucester, Plymouth, and Provincetown. These ports have been centers of maritime activity in New England for nearly 400 years. As a result, the sanctuary is a repository for this nation's maritime heritage resources in the form of shipwrecks.

National Undersea Research Center at the University of Connecticut

Through this partnership, NOAA scientists have located over a dozen potentially historic shipwrecks in the sanctuary and completed detailed investigations of the sites with side scan sonar, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs).

The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center
