NAP 50th Birthday

On May 15-17, 2026, “Nauties” celebrated the 50th year of the Nautical Archaeology Program (1976-2026). More than 100 former students and faculty from the last five decades of NAP convened in College Station. In addition to celebrating NAP’s 50th, we also recognized the distinguished career (and looming retirement) of Professor Kevin Crisman, announcing the Kevin Crisman ’84 Distinguished Endowed Scholarship in Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University.
