Some describe them as time capsules of our maritime history, waiting to be discovered and opened.</p><p>But there’s a group of people who are drawn to shipwrecks for very different reasons, and it sometimes leads to the demise of the wrecks themselves: fishermen.</p><p>In this episode, why archaeologists and fishermen have sometimes been at odds over shipwrecks, and the federal government program that’s bringing them together under one common cause.</p><p><i>Featuring Ben Roberts, Mike Bailey, Tom Hill, Calvin Meyers, and Ben Haskell.</i></p><p>Produced by Felix Poon.
