Other achievements include the discovery of more than 100 ship wrecks off the Bermuda coast, work on the Beebe science project with National Geographic, collaboration with the University of Maryland to study gill sharks.

","This series includes the papers of Edward \"Teddy\" Bolton Tucker.  They include his work as a skin diver in and around Bermuda waters.  Teddy devoted a significant amount of his professional life studying marine life and exploring wrecks off coastlines.

He sold it to the Government of Bermuda in 1959.  Unfortnately, by 1975 it was discovered that it was stolen. Because a replica was used to hide the fact that it was stolen, it is believed that a professional art theif perpetrated the crime. The artifact has never been recovered.  While much of Teddy's underwater findings and work remain in Bermuda, these papers offer insight into his boyhood, correspondence with relatives, and daily life in Bermuda.","This box contains mostly photocopies of documentation and compiled research related to Bermuda and surrounding area shiwrecks.

Following service with the Royal Navy during World War II, Teddy endeavored to make a living as a salvage diver.  He taught himself about ships, nautical history, and underwater archeology.
