The Durham Museum, “Odyssey’s SHIPWRECK! Pirates and Treasure”
May 28 – August 28, 2016
Showcasing Odyssey Marine Exploration’s world-class archaeological work in the deep ocean, the SHIPWRECK! exhibit contains over 500 authentic shipwreck artifacts from some of the world’s most fascinating shipwrecks. Recovered by Odyssey in the Atlantic Ocean, English Channel and Mediterranean Sea, the exhibit takes visitors on a voyage through more than 2,000 years of seafaring history. The fascinating story of one of America’s most famous shipwrecks, the Civil War-era SS Republic, is the highlight of the exhibit. The Republic’s vivid history is brought to life by the wide variety of treasure and first-hand accounts from the passengers aboard the Republic during her final stormy journey.
Filled with interactive games and challenges, SHIPWRECK! allows visitors to experience the thrill of shipwreck exploration while investigating some of the world’s greatest maritime stories. A full-size replica of ZEUS, Odyssey’s eight-ton Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), which acts as the archaeologist’s hands and eyes in the deep ocean will be on display. Guests can test their skills by attempting to pick up artifacts with a working model of ZEUS’ robotic arm.
