Summary

Shipwrecks. Treasure. Sunken planes. Scuttled submarines. New life forming around old machinery. There’s an -ology for that -- just ask Maritime Archaeologist and wreck nerd Chanelle Zaphiropoulos. This absolutely charming and passionate scuba diver, history buff and antiquities scholar dishes about pirates, warships, admirals worth admiring, and ships ranging in size from water taxis to the Costa Concordia and Titanic. Also world record diving stats, war graves, how owning a fountain pen can be egregious and why a Midwestern coal barge from the 1970’s is worthy of weeping over. Ahoy!

0:20.6	I have a sinking feeling that you do.
0:22.4	But first, here's the episode.
0:24.2	So this Oligist is an Oligite as well and pitched the topic to me with such zeal and
0:29.9	such passion that I just couldn't wait to dive in and hear all about it.

0:48.4	And she's like moments away from her masters in maritime archaeology at the University
0:53.6	of Malta.
0:54.6	We'll talk about what Malta is later.
0:57.1	Now as soon as I learned that her Twitter handle was sharks and wrecks, I was like, I got
1:01.9	to know this lady.
1:02.9	I need her in my life.
1:04.2	She's so enthusiastic about the science and the culture and her approach to what lost
