Hi Brett,
Here's the Good news / Bad news thing:
The Great Lakes Historical Society in Vermilion, Ohio will be hosting nautical archaeology workshops for MAST (Maritime Archaeology Survey Team) in December of 2003; however, we have heard the workshops are booked (there may be a waiting list). There will be additional workshops next year, with a survey on a Lake Erie shipwreck (we have not solidified the additional workshop dates for next year yet).
