The Maple Leaf Excavations
Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm
Location: Room 1205, Building 51 at the University of North Florida
Description: The Civil War troop transport Maple Leaf sank in the St. Johns River on April 1, 1864 when it struck a Confederate mine. Dr. Keith Holland and other amateur historians located the wreck in 1984. After forming the St. Johns Archaeological Expeditions, Inc., they excavated the site and recovered a large amount of material culture that revealed what life was like at the time. It has been called "the most important repository of Civil War artifacts ever found . . . . " Dr. Holland will present a lecture about the excavation at the March 15 meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America--Jacksonville Society. Parking is free and the faculty/staff/vendor spaces are available to everyone. For more information about the lecture or about how to join the organization, contact Melva Price at (904)241-9411 or aiajaxsoc@gmail.com.
