Ship Model Laboratory Director


     
The construction of models of ship remains is a tool that can be used to understand information derived from archaeological and historical research. Glenn Grieco, a student in the Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University, is a professional ship modeler.  He has just completed construction of two models of the 17th century French ship La Belle, using precise details derived from the archaeological remains of the ship. His next major project will be to create a model of Jefferson, a 19th-century American brig used on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812.
