Historical Note
RIMAP is a not-for-profit volunteer organization dedicated to the study of Rhode Island's maritime history and the archaeological study of cultural resources related to that history. Since 1991 RIMAP has performed background research, collected historical information and conducted field work on the vessels beneath Rhode Island waters. RIMAP has an interest in all periods of the state's maritime history (on land as well as under water), including Native American watercraft and submerged terrestrial sites, Colonial and Revolutionary War sites, local slaving, steamship, and naval histories, the Golden Age of yachting and pleasure craft, and modern maritime technology and economic systems.
