my research but that of countless others; and Hassan Maizan Maniku, who as Director of the Fisheries Department of the Maldives, supported and worked with me on projects related to boat ethnography and heritage management.
I am indebted to many people who helped me in my early career, par- ticularly Jan Piet Puype, late of the Leger Museum Leiden and the Scheep- vaartmuseum, Amsterdam; R. Reinders of the University of Groenegen (late of the Kedelhaven Museum); and Gerrit vander Heide (retired)—all of whom have assisted me in my research in the Netherlands on numerous occasions. Willem Vos and Robert Parthesius of the Nederland Stichting Bouw VOC Retourschip, Lelystad, also opened up new opportunities for research on the Batavia for which I am grateful. In Sweden I received a great deal of support from the Wasavarvet, in particular from the then Director Lars Åke Kvarning and then chief maritime archaeologist Carl Olof Cederlund (both now retired). In the United Kingdom, the experience gained from working, initially with Syd Wignall and later with Colin Martin on a number of excavations and with Peter Marsden on the Amsterdam project also warrants my thanks.
Since writing the first edition of this book, some of my interests have diverged and my activities changed direction leading to new experiences and ideas. I am particularly grateful to George Bass who, in 1999, invited me to (once again) visit his operation in Turkey (I remember that within a few days of starting work at the Research Laboratory for Archaeology in 1967, I was sent by Teddy Hall to Turkey to work with George at Yassi Ada, my first startling introduction to maritime archaeology). Since 1999 I have returned each year, with the support of the Western Australian Museum, to work with the Institute for Nautical Archaeology (INA) in Bodrum, carry- ing out a research programme related to the development of underwater surveying techniques; this has been a fruitful and exciting programme. I would like to acknowledge the great contribution to my research made by colleagues at INA Bodrum, particularly my old friend and colleague Robin Piercy, and also to Xila Matthews, Tufan Turanli, Don Frey, Murat Tilev, Debora Carlson, and Faith Henschal.
In recent years I have also been fortunate to have the opportunity to work in Sicily, where Sebastiano Tusa and Gaetano Lino of the Servizo per il Coordiamento delle Ricerche Archeologiche Sottomarine (SCRAS), which is part of Departemento dei Beni Culturali ed Ambientali e dell’Educazione, have provided invaluable assistance and support. I want to thank them for allowing me to work with their organization.
In the United Kingdom, Pete Holt of 3H Computing, Portsmouth, helped enormously with the application of Site Surveyor and has my thanks for his part in developing our acoustic position fixing system.
