Maritime Archaeology (SHIPWRECKS) with Chanelle Zaphiropoulos
Maritime Archeologist Chanelle Zaphiropoulos at work excavating a sunken wreck. She is underwater in SCUBA gear facing the camera. The Ologies logo is in the lower left.
Shipwrecks. Treasure. Sunken planes. Scuttled submarines. New life forming around old machinery. There’s an -ology for that -- just ask Maritime Archaeologist and wreck nerd Chanelle Zaphiropoulos. This absolutely charming and passionate scuba diver, history buff and antiquities scholar dishes about pirates, warships, admirals worth admiring, and ships ranging in size from water taxis to the Costa Concordia and Titanic. Also world record diving stats, war graves, how owning a fountain pen can be egregious and why a Midwestern coal barge from the 1970’s is worthy of weeping over. Ahoy!
