Egypt
Short profile of marine archaeologist Frank Goddio
The Telegraph, U.K. (Stephen Adams)
Frenchman Frank Goddio is regarded by many as the best marine archaeologist in the world.
His feats include retrieving hundreds of artefacts from submerged parts of the ancient Egyptian port of Alexandria, some almost 3,000 years old, as well as excavating the wrecks of the British East India Company ships Griffin and Royal Captain, and Napoleon Bonaparte's flagship Orient.
Despite his romantic occupation, Mr Goddio, 60, was a financial advisor before dedicating himself to marine archaeology 23 years ago.
See the above page for the full story. Results of Goddio's work in Alexandria have formed a traveling exhibition, about which I have posted in the past. The exhibition is currently in Madrid.
