I did not go out on the boat today, but because the divers are getting back to the hotel often too late and too tired to write up the day's news for this website, I will report on what I heard from them over dinner, and that is that they are finding quite a few artifacts, including today a wooden fragment of the ship's hull, several pulley blocks, and two rifles. The idea this year is not to raise artifacts, but simply to learn as much about the site as possible in order to plan for a large-scale excavation next year.
Because I am not diving, today I hired a van and driver and went with my wife, Ann; Claude and Barbara Duthuit; and Jun Kimura, the nautical archaeology student from Flinders University in Australia, to a Shinto shrine near the highest waterfall in Japan. It was all spectacular--part of the shrine was built in the 1500s.
