Nautical Archaeology Digital
Library
This project is a collaborative effort of researchers in Texas A&M University's Center
for the Study of Digital Libraries (CSDL) and Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP). The project will draw its materials
from the extensive collection of artifacts gathered from a shipwreck in Portugal as well as the extensive archives
collected at the NAP during field studies over the past 32 years.
The material presented on the NADL webpage is based upon work supported by the National Science
Foundation under Grant No. IIS-0534314.

Treatises on Shipbuilding
Although a small number of texts about shipbuilding, dating to the early and mid-15th century
have survived in Italy, it was not until the late 16th century that writing about the building, rigging, and handling
of oceangoing ships seems to have become fashionable among scholars and intellectuals.
Many of these texts are difficult to access, handle, copy, and understand. The ShipLab has
started a long term project to gather information on the many texts, dictionaries, compiled notes, and treatises
on shipbuilding in existence, in order to try to share it in an easy and organized manner.
Folios from Manoel Fernandez 1616 Treatise.
Since 2005 the ShipLab team is working with Texas A&M University's Center for the Study
of Digital Libraries on a project that will make some of the texts available in facsimile, with transcriptions,
translations, glossaries and images available, as well as a number of other research tools.
