| Bera, Daniel J. | 2015 | Cultural Factors of Shipwreck Site Formation: An Examination of Ferrous Shipwrecks on the Outer Banks |
By analyzing the ferrous wrecks of Huron and Paraguay, Bera reconstructed both ships in Rhinoceros 3D. From there Bera analyzed how both wrecks site formed including the damage to different sections. The benefit to the 3D modeling the wrecks was that it allowed the Paraguay’s 1909 extension to be visible as a site formation process.

| Clevenger, Katherine Lovejoy | 2017 | Developing a Supplemental Archaeological Methodology: A Photogrammetric Study of Shipwrecks Using a Low-Cost ROV |
Clevenger’s was on whether low cost ROV with low cost devices be feasible to create models and reduce time in data collection. To do this she created an orthophoto, a geometrically corrected image taken aerially. She also created a photogrammetric model from footage collected GoPro Hero 4 .
| Cook, Joel | 2021 | The Subchaser Debate: An Analysis of Influences on the Development of the PC-461 Class Submarine Chaser |
Cook analyzed the PC-461 for wartime adaptations which were color-coded based on the author’s perceived utility on a Rhinoceros 3D ship model. The green represented object which were more useful compared to their detriment, yellow which were as useful as detrimental, and red which were more detrimental than useful.
| Diveley, Brian | 2008 | Naval Development and the Diffusion of Nineteenth-Century Maritime Innovation of the Sassacus-Class Double-Ender, USS Otsego |
Constructed from EOS PhotoModeler Pro, Diveley reconstructed the sidewheeler Ostego from its machinery, hull construction, to other features visible in the wreck site and from historic imagery. Dively also used other features in the AutoDesk family of products to cross reference the historic references with their proper relation to the vessel.
| Fox, Kara Davis | 2015 | Matters of Steel: Illustrating and Assessing the Deterioration of the World War II Merchant Freight Caribsea. |
Fox’s used Rhinoceros 4.0 to construct Caribsea to construct the ship as it was built, frame first. The data used includes a point-cloud of the wreck processed from multi-beam surveys as well as historical photographs.
| Fricker, Kristina J. | 2020 | Yield Strength of the Egadi 10 Warship: Using Nonlinear Computer Simulations to Examine Collision Dynamics in Greco-Roman Naval Conflicts. |
Frickner’s thesis used several strain tests to test the strength of the Egadi 10 hull and ram. Colored on the map are areas with relative stress done through Finite Element Analysis using Solidworks Simulation.
| Horn, Thomas Wilde | 2014 | Determining Seasonal Corrosion Rates in Ferrous-Hulled Shipwrecks: A Case Study of the USS Huron |
fitted in 1875 (Horn 2014:46)
After the field school of 2012, Horn recreated the USS Huron based on ship plans and sought to compare it to the remains found at field school and from previous reports by the town of Nags Head. As part of the project’s goal of studying site formation, Horn also analyzed corrosion rates of multiple points of the wreck.
| Sassorossi, William | 2015 | Defending the East Coast: Adapting and Converting Commercial Ships for Military Operations. |
From diving the wreck to multi-beam sonar, Sassorossi created several 3D models of Senateur Duhamel including a rendering of the based on multi-beam data as well as a model of the wreck with machinery exposed to best reflect the features found in the sonar data.

| Smith, Tim | 2020 | Wood and Steel; Using Modeling to Analyze Site Formation of the Early Twentieth Century Vessel Fraternité. |
Smith’s thesis modeled the archaeological remains of the Fraternité. From there, the author rendered the process of destruction from the remains to explain how the Fraternité’s site formed as the result of the ship burning.
| Vestal, Joshua | 2020 | Hull Preservation: Preservation Methods and Management of the Battleship North Carolina Memorial Wilmington. |
Vestal simulated North Carolina’s preservation as a 3D model. The creation of the museum required the Battleship to have a coffer dam constructing around its hull and allowing it to be berthed in mud. This process is modeled below with the orange section being fully submerged in mud during its preservation.
| Luna, Iker in Barbery, Miguel | 2020 | The Hull Remains of Helen C: A Comparative Analysis of Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle-Pamlico Skipjack Shipbuilding Traditions. |
Iker Luna, in Barbery 2020, visually reconstructed the remains of Carrie Price. Barbery examined the remains of Helen C. finding differences between it and Chesapeake Skipjacks.
