THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE LAWYERS' COMMITTEE 

2011 Conference Broadcast Online 

Underwater Cultural Heritage

To mark the 100th anniversary of Titanic, international experts explored the challenges facing the world's underwater cultural heritage during our 3 November 2011 conference at the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, DC. Keeping the Lid on Davy Jones' Locker: The Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage from Titanic to Today gave the public an unprecedented opportunity to interact with the archaeologists, explorers, and scientists behind the most important nautical expeditions of our time. Because maritime discoveries are often hotly contested in the courts, the conference also featured top attorneys. 

You can watch selected presentations from Keeping the Lid on Davy Jones' Locker at www.culturalheritagelaw.org.
