James Sinclair holds an MA in Historic Maritime Archaeology and has been involved in some of the most famous and successful historic shipwreck recoveries of modern times. He started his career in 1980 working with Mel Fisher on the search for and recovery of the Nuestra Senora de Atocha, 1622. In 1985 the team found 400 million dollars of lost treasure from this famous wreck site and he was the leader in the conservation efforts that saved over ½ million objects of amazing historic and intrinsic value.

Since 1985 Jim has been involved in projects around the world from Guam to Eastern Canada. In 2000 he became the first archaeologist to visit and map a section of the great lost liner RMS Titanic, sunk at 12,500 ft. He has continued to play an integral role in the development of the science of underwater archaeology and champions the concept of private public partnerships for the benefit of the shipwreck resources. Mr. Sinclair's work is very well respected and because of the professional respect of his science he is in constant demand for shipwreck and archaeological projects around the world.

We are all very happy to have Jim on board as our lead archaeologist.
