Alcoa Jetty Wreck Survey Report 2005

Report Number: 205

Introduction
This report concerns a survey carried out on what is known as the Alcoa Jetty Wreck. The survey took place between the dates of 26 April to 18 May, 2005. The primary goal was to produce a survey plan that updates a previous survey carried out in 1987 (See below). Secondary goals were to attempt a more positive identification of the wreck through the use of historical documents and analysis of the material remains. The outcomes were to be able to provide a report on the nature of the site for use by future researchers, as well as a subsequent article for publication in a journal and to provide a report of a sufficient standard to complete the second stage of a Nautical Archaeology Society training program.
