Lecture by Jim Goold, a lawyer based in Washington, D.C. at Covington & Burling LLP. Mr. Goold is the pre-eminent litigator in representing European nations, including Spain, France and Italy, and international archaeological and cultural institutions in protecting historic sunken ships from looting. Mr. Goold’s talk will feature his most recent case in which he won protection for France for a little known French warship sunk in 1565 that may be the most historically significant shipwreck in North American history.  Mr. Goold will also make a presentation on his most prominent current nautical archaeology project, locating and recovering the remains of the 241 B.C. Battle of Egadi Islands in which the Navy of Republican Rome defeated the Carthaginian Navy and won the First Punic War.
