College of Marine Arts

The College of Marine Arts was operated as the Sea Research Society's formal higher education wing from 1972 until 1978. It was initially located in Columbia, South Carolina and later moved to Mount Pleasant, outside of Charleston where it was housed in the former Berkeley County courthouse building on Pitt Street.

Recipients included Pablo Bush Romero of CEDAM, E. Lee Spence, Peter Throckmorton, Robert F. Marx, and Anders Franzén, each published historians, known for their important shipwreck discoveries and their pioneering work in underwater archaeology.
