Besides documenting the sites, the students photographed maritime art work throughout Cahuita and Puerto Viejo to see how maritime society infiltrates societal values and lifestyle. They also had the opportunity to document small boats, in particular the unique fishing boats of the community, including the boats used for diving.
To finish the project, students and crew chiefs presented the findings of the project to the community and to students at a local high school. They also wrote up a report upon returning to the States.
Read more about the project at the project's blog: http://blog.ecu.edu/sites/hist5530/, and look forward to a session at SHA in Washington DC this year focusing on our adventures in Costa Rica.
The students would like to thank the professors and crew chiefs for putting up with us and teaching us about the numerous steps to completing a full project. We would also like to thanks Jason Nunn for accompanying us as our DSO.
