  Handbook of Texas Online:
The Institute of Nautical Archaeology was incorporated in 1973 as the American Institute of Nautical Archaeology in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The institute does not benefit financially from the recovery of underwater remains, as all artifacts recovered belong to the nations in whose waters they are found.
In the late 1970s institute work in Turkey concentrated on the excavation of the "Glass Wreck." Its cargo is one of the finest collections of medieval Islamic glass ever found, and its hull marks the transition in shipbuilding technology from "shell-first" to "frame-first" construction.

 Books: Nautical Soundings
George Bass, one of INA's founders and the book's editor, obviously encouraged INA members to tell their adventures in a manner accessible to nonarchaeologists, making the book more engaging than most.
Archaeology is about what the artifacts can tell us about people, and it is nice to see science driven by a desire to understand "how the ship offered a living environment for an enormous crowd of sailors, soldiers...and adventurers," and to read Joseph Conrad's description of these large ocean-going ships as "dark wandering places."
Underwater archaeology was once laughed at by terrestrial archaeologists, at least until serious scholars like Bass started getting more money and support for their sites than the mud sloggers.
