The Gloucester Shipwreck project, led by Professor Claire Jowitt, was recognised against some of the very best projects in higher education at the Times Higher Education award for Research Project of the Year: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
In collaboration with Norfolk Museums Service, Norfolk Historic Shipwrecks, and the Gloucester (1682) Charitable Trust, the project team was up against five other universities shortlisted for the prize, which celebrates ‘the very best in higher education’.
“On behalf of the project team and all who have supported this endeavour, I am delighted with the recognition from THE to nominate our efforts to share the fascinating and enduring story of the Gloucester and its tragic loss in 1682,” said Prof Jowitt.
