Maritime Archaeology with Maddy

21st Century Mermaids

Join Danni Washington as we take a deep dive with the shipwreck mermaid, Dr. Maddy McAllister. Maddy is the senior curator of Maritime Archaeology for the Queensland Museum Network and James Cook University in Australia. Dr. Maddy McAllister is also the recipient of the Women Divers Hall of Fame Cecelia Connelly Memorial Scholarship in Underwater Archaeology. Danni and Dr. McAllister discuss a breadth of topics about maritime archaeology including the important role that shipwrecks play in wildlife habitats, technology used in modern shipwreck diving that helps us gain a better understanding of the past, and changing the narrative in a traditionally male dominated industry.
