Topic: Fire: As a Weapon of Mass Destruction
Sam returns to eaH with another story about the engineering of using Fire as a Weapon of Mass Destruction which all sides used during World War II. Sam will tell the story of how fire protection engineers and fire service professionals worked with the Army Air Force and the Royal Air Force during WWII to plan the firebombing of German and Japanese industrial and population centers. Based on the NFPA Publication Fire and the Air War.
Friday February 19th Noon to 1PM
Speaker: Hans K Van Tilburg PhD
Maritime Heritage Coordinator Pacific Islands Region
NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries
Topic: "Nanhai #1: A Window on the Maritime Silk Road"
Hans returns again to eaH to tell us about China's ambitious Nanhai #1 excavation project, initiated in 2007, which achieved an engineering milestone in the recovery of underwater cultural heritage that has never been replicated. The discovery of a 900-year old Song dynasty merchant vessel culminated in the removal of the adjacent seafloor along with the entire intact wreck, allowing for meticulous "in situ" excavation under environmentally controlled conditions within a specially-built lab on a nearby island. The wealth of porcelains and trade goods found with the vessel demonstrates the extensive and vibrant past of the Maritime Silk Road, and archaeologists are only now reaching the lower levels of the vessel’s cargo holds. The project is also relevant to today’s resource and management issues in the South China Sea.
