About Luisa Shipwreck
In 2021, she led the first photogrammetric survey of the 17th-century Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, buried under shifting silt off the Dominican Republic, not to recover gold, but to map how colonial-era hull construction techniques evolved under Atlantic trade pressures. Luisa doesn’t treat wrecks as time capsules frozen in saltwater; she studies them as layered archives where barnacle growth patterns, sediment stratigraphy, and corrosion chemistry reveal how climate shifts altered shipping routes over centuries. Her fieldwork merges low-light ROV piloting with hand-drawn artifact sketches made at 40 meters, because she insists that tactile observation recalibrates digital data. She’s published three open-access atlases of Caribbean wreck typologies, each annotated with oral histories from local fisherfolk whose families have navigated those waters for generations, blending sonar logs with generational memory to challenge Eurocentric maritime chronologies.
