The Menorca Shipwreck Project is an multi-year archaeological expedition that began in the fall of 2023 starting with the excavation of a 300 year old wreck in Cala en Busquets. It is a collaboration between Explorers Club Members, Menorcan and Catalonian archaeologists, local museum staff and cultural heritage professionals. The MSP hosts a field school each year where participants learn the basics of underwater archaeology, improve their scuba diving skills, and learn about the rich multilayered history of Menorca that dates back millennia.
