https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Throckmorton
Edgerton Alvord Throckmorton (July 30, 1928 – June 5, 1990), known as Peter Throckmorton, was an American photojournalist and a pioneer underwater archaeologist, frequently described as the Father of Underwater Archaeology. Throckmorton was a founding member of the Sea Research Society and served on its Board of Advisors until his death in 1990. He was also a trustee for NUMA and was an instructor at Nova Southeastern University.

Every time I hear of a discovery I think of Peter. I was lucky enough to work with him aboard “Seaview” for a couple of seasons in the Bahamas.
