"In 1973, INA Founder Dr. George F. Bass (1932-2021) organized INA’s first field school and, together with his wife and INA Co-Founder Ann Bass, hosted the first meeting of the INA Board of Directors. INA Executive Director Cynthia Eiseman published the first issue of the INA Quarterly and the United States government granted INA status as a non-profit 501(c)3 organization."

"For half a century, INA archaeologists have conducted fieldwork and research leading to the location, excavation, preservation, and publication of dozens of shipwrecks and other sites of nautical significance. In 2023, we celebrate INA’s 50th year with webinars, a special commemorative 50th volume of the INA Quarterly, and a new film that tells the story of INA’s first shipwreck survey in 1973. We are forever grateful to the hundreds of donors, colleagues, students, volunteers, and staff members who helped INA reach this important milestone."

"We invite all members of the INA family new and old to help us commemorate INA’s 50th year by becoming more involved: attend an INA Wednesday Webinar, make a donation to support an INA project, shop INA’s online store, or give the gift of INA membership. When you become a member of INA, you help bring history to light through the science of shipwreck archaeology!"

"The Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) would not exist were it not for the vision of our Founder George F. Bass †, the Father of Underwater Archaeology. In 1960 George directed the first scientific, archaeological excavation of a shipwreck, following the same principles and precision that guided terrestrial excavations. In the 1970s he founded INA and then found INA an academic home at Texas A&M University. His many contributions to the field of nautical archaeology were celebrated most recently in 2018 when he was named one of TIME Magazine’s Great Scientists: The Geniuses and Visionaries Who Transformed Our World. How does it feel to be in the company of Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, and Howard Carter? Bass says he is “flattered and thrilled.” INA is deeply honored too! Congratulations George!"
