Series 6: History of the Archaeological Excavation and Conservation of the HMS Culloden Prepared by Dr. Henry W. Moeller. The Culloden shipwreck (1781) at Culloden Point in Montauk, New York is a world class nonrenewable resource in the Town of East Hampton, New York.The shipwreck is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of twelve Royal Navy ships of the line lost during the American Revolution throughout the world. A more thorough description of British warship losses is provided in the attached publication. The original purpose for taking the photographs was to document the discovery and subsequent archaeological activities that took place on this wreck site. A secondary objective was to document artifacts during the period they received conservation treatment in my laboratory. Finally a number of photographs were used in preparation for a 2004 exhibit of the shipwreck at Clinton Academy in East Hampton, New York. While they were given permission to use my photographs for the exhibit, no rights were given to them for subsequent use. “Henry Moeller Diary Notes HMS Culloden, 1965-2009” September 1965 December 1965 September 1969 May 1971 August 5, 1971 June 6, 1972 June 7, 1972 June 8, 1972 July 13, 1972 April 15, 1973 August 14, 1973 September 29, 1973 September 30, 1973 October 1, 1973 October 2 and 3, 1973 October 4, 1973 October 4, 1973 October 10, 1973 October 11, 1973 October 15, 1973 October 18, 1973 October 23, 1973 November 6, 1973 November 7, 1973 November 14, 1973 November 26, 1973 December 13, 1973 December 17, 1973 December 18, 1973 December 27, 1973 Gradually the wheels of government began to turn and in 1974 the Culloden cannon was removed from Carl Davidson’s home and taken to East Hampton. New York Ocean Science Laboratory chemist, Dr. James Alexander did conservation chemistry. West Point cadets visited Moeller’s lab and surveyed surrounding wreck site. West Point cadets participated in surveying area. Moeller was not permitted to be involved with preservation of cannon by New York Ocean Science Laboratory administration. Monies supplied by East Hampton Town were given to Dr. Alexander for conservation chemistry work. No money was given to Moeller. He was not invited to photography session where Paul Scudieri, Elizabeth Fallon and Dr. Alexander took possession of cannon. In December 1974 an article entitled "The Search for the Culloden" was printed by the American Museum of Natural History. The journal name was Natural History. The article was written by Henry Moeller. The article was written after Carl Davidson lectured at Dowling College about the Culloden cannon. Professor Moeller at the time of the lecture was eligible for tenure. Moeller took the academic position that shipwrecks of antiquity should be preserved for future generations. Davidson took the position that shipwrecks of antiquity could be salvaged by experienced and professional divers. Moeller took the position that archaeological sites should be studied by scientists. The academic reasons for the dispute were made public in the Natural History article and in the press. The publication received national and international acclaim. It was a very difficult time for both Carl Davidson and Henry Moeller. In 1976 for the Bicentennial Celebration the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Henry W. Moeller a grant (summer stipend) to excavate the Culloden wreck site. November 18, 1976 Henry Moeller nominated the Culloden wreck site for the National Register. The Moeller nomination was withdrawn and Mary Fallon, the supervisor in East Hampton nominated the wreck site a second time. A number of years later the wreck site was placed on the National Register. Professor Moeller and his team spent two summers conducting an archaeological excavation of the Culloden wreck site. The Moeller team photographed and documented the Culloden wreck site. Then seven years were spent doing conservation chemistry for the artifacts. It was very easy to obtain funds for excavation work but almost impossible to obtain funds for conservation chemistry. Thousands of hours of conservation work were done by Professor Moeller, his student and friends, who were interested in conservation chemistry. Ms. Elizabeth O’Donnell, a retired high school teacher and chemist worked in Moeller’s laboratory, and reported to him. She was a volunteer. When New York Ocean Science Laboratory closed, Moeller took his grant money and gave it to the East Hampton Marine Museum for O’Donnell to continue her work. She wanted to work independent of Moeller and when the grant funds were depleted Moeller would not raise any additional funds for her. She published on preservation chemistry with her daughter. No credit was given to the many people who volunteered their time! No state or federal funds were ever allocated for the archaeological excavation. Professor Moeller received funding from two wealthy patrons. The patrons were Dr. William Heroy and Arthur Skodnek. The artifacts when they were conserved were placed in the East Hampton Marine Museum. They were inventoried by the State of New York and accepted as part of their museum holdings. October 1981 Professor Moeller has been documenting shipwrecks on eastern Long Island since 1965. He has spent the last ten years using side scan sonar and mapping archaeological sites on eastern Long Island He has found a number of underwater archaeological sites. Should these sites be made public? Will these sites be preserved for future generations or will they be plundered like the Culloden? Should this information be published and made public? Should this information be given to the New York Museum? What will the New York State Museum do with it? Henry W. Moeller spent two winters in London during his sabbatical leave studying the Culloden and other shipwrecks of the Royal Navy. He studied at the British Library, the Public Records Office and the National Marine Museum in Greenwich. He is planning to publish on shipwrecks of the Royal Navy in North America. Summary Probably every lobster fishermen at Montauk knew where the Culloden wreck site was located. The Moeller discovery only brought public awareness to the site. Carl Davidson, in all likelihood learned about the Culloden from discussions at a Suffolk Sub Mariners meeting. Proof of that statement could be obtained if you could uncover the log book of the Suffolk Sub Mariners minutes. A ghost writer for Carl Davidson wrote a document which contains narration about the discovery of the Culloden. This document contains libelous information about Moeller. Moeller has a copy of the document and has consulted an attorney about it. Professor Moeller warned Mr. Davidson that if his document was published, legal action would be forthcoming since it contained many false statements. Moeller obeyed the law and stayed off the Culloden wreck site for a number of years after receiving orders from the New York Department of Education not to go on the site until a permit was received. In fact, Moeller was off the Culloden wreck site for so many years that he actually forgot where it was located. Davidson also ignored Section 233 of the State Education Law which states that no person should excavate an archaeological site underwater without permission from the Commissioner of Education. The controversy that developed between Moeller and Davidson has taken place countless times around the nation. In retrospect Moeller and Davidson had much in common. It is a shame they could not have cooperated since Davidson is a talented, intelligent person. Unfortunately, Davidson pursued a course of action that put him in conflict with New York. State Education Law. Moeller abided by the law. Davidson believed the Culloden is a British warship and remains British property and is not owned by New York. Davidson could be correct. When federal legislation for shipwrecks of archaeological value was passed in the 1990s the state of New York was requested to develop a master plan for their underwater archaeological sites. New York elected not to pursue that directive and are one of the coastal states that has not developed a strategy to preserve our underwater cultural heritage. In May 2001, Isabel Furlaud, President of the East Hampton Historical Society requested Henry Moeller assist in the preparation of an exhibit of the Culloden artifacts at the Clinton Academy. Henry Moeller agreed and he spent one month preparing an exhibit that would be open to the public for the summer and fall of 2001. It was the first time that he had observed many of the artifacts now stored at the East Hampton Marine Museum in Amagansett, New York. The majority of the artifacts have held up well following their conservation. No conservation steps have taken place in the intervening years by the New York State Museum. The only artifacts that have not held up well are the large cannon balls which have developed some cracks in them. It is apparent that they did not remain in the electrolysis treatment phase for enough time. I recommended Ms. Furlaud that the East Hampton Historical Society request funds for additional conservation work from the New York State Museum. April 2009 September 14, 2009 Culloden Reference Sources After the Clinton Academy Culloden exhibit a number of papers relating to the exhibit were placed in the Long Island Collection, East Hampton Library. Exhibit materials from the exhibit were also retained by the East Hampton Historical Society. Henry W. Moeller’s photographic collection related to the Culloden were given to the Special Collections Library at SUNY Stony Brook. Henry W. Moeller’s papers from an archeological dig of the Culloden were placed in the Special Collections Library at SUNY Stony Brook. Conserved artifacts from the Culloden excavation were given to the State of New York. For many years these artifacts were on loan to the East Hampton Marine Museum. At the end of the loan period the Culloden artifacts were taken to a NY State Parks and Recreation facility at Watertown, New York where they remain as of this date (July 4, 2017). |
