Mim - That's really cool! You know, it's funny but I don't meet many people with an interest in marine archaeology
You'd think there'd be more right? Lol. My PhD specifically deals with the way the American courts deal with salvagers and salvaging ships - and all that 'is it right to salvage' ethos thrown in. I haven't actually started researching or writing yet (moved into my new office yesterday!) so I bet there'll be changes, etc. yet! But yes, if I do move into practicing from academics, please do be my first client!
Oh, and Els does have a brother, yet sadly he is not dashing and IMO looks nothing like him
I think I got the good 'un! Are you from the States orginally then?
