Mighty Ships episode available online

UPDATED:
If you missed the episode of the TV show "Mighty Ships: USNS GRASP" which was about our 2011 Expedition with Navy deep-sea divers, you can download it from iTunes for $2.99 here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/usns-grasp/id588041773?i=596640392&ign-mpt=uo%3D4
I am speaking to an undergraduate Maritime History class at the University of Connecticut this afternoon, and am going to pose some challenges for them to discuss regarding 1) ownership of the BHR and 2) the debate over bringing up artifacts or leaving them untouched on the bottom of the sea.  Students usually come up with some great ideas and interesting perspectives, which inspires and invigorates me every time.  Just one of the things I love about teaching!
