The Cais do Sodré Ship Lisbon, Portugal Citation information: Filipe Castro, "The Cais do Sodré Ship", http://nautarch.tamu.edu/shiplab/, last updated in February 2008. 2001 and 2002 Field Seasons in Lisbon Team In the summer of 2001 the team of students from Texas A&M University's Nautical Archaeology Program was composed of: Katie Custer, Peter Erik Flynn, Gustavo Garcia, Erika Laanela, Anthony Randolph, and Carrie Sowden. The participation of this group of students was made possible through a grant from the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, awarded to Dr. Kevin Crisman's Azores project.  On the way to the Azores students made a stop over of one month during which they worked on the Cais do Sodré project.  The total costs, including airplane tickets totaled around USD $6.800. The work started in June 2001 was completed at Texas A&M University ShipLab, by: Dante Bartoli, Starr Cox, Peter Erik Flynn, Gustavo Garcia, and Michael Jones. In the summer of 2002 the team of students from Texas A&M University's Nautical Archaeology Program was composed of: Starr Cox, Katie Custer, Peter Erik Flynn, Gustavo Garcia, and Sara Hoskins. The participation of these students was partly funded by the Nautical Archaeology Program, partly by the students themselves, some of which paid their own travel and other expenses. These teams were coordinated by project director Paulo Jorge Rodrigues, in coordination with myself in what pertained to the academic development of the students.
