Dr. Jose L. Casabán  je nedavno diplomirao na programu arheologije broda na Sveučilištu Texas A&M. Njegov rad se fokusira na španjolsku brodogradnju i plovidbu u 16. i 17. st, a njegova disertacija istražuje dizajn, opremu i povijest Dvanaest apostola, serije galijuna izgrađenih u Španjolskoj između 1589. i 1591. godine. Uz to, Dr. Casabán je specijalist arhivskog istraživanja i apliciranja podvodne fotogrametrije, CAD-a, GIS-a i arheologije broda. On posjeduje i ekstenzivno iskustvo u terenskom arheološkom istraživanju, uključujući i kopnene i podvodne lokalitete. Znanstveni je suradnik na Institutu za podvodnu arheologiju (INA) i iskusni ronioc koji posjeduje tehničke i komercijalne certifikate.

AKTUALNI PROJEKTI

  • 2013-present. The “12 Apostles” Project. Reconstruction and historical research of the late 16th century Spanish built galleons the “12 Apostles” (1589-1591) based on primary written sources, archaeological data, and iconographic evidence.The data will be correlated to produce a dynamic model of these galleons in which cargo, crew, passengers, gear, rigging, anchors, ordnance, and ballast will be added. The purpose of the reconstruction is to gain a better understanding of late 16th century Spanish galleons design, construction, displacement, hydrodynamic properties, and outfitting for a better understanding of the Spanish shipbuilding during this period. This includes the analysis of the life on board, the organization, and the occupation of the interior space of the ship. These aspects determine the ship's design, size, shape, and functionality, which in return, influence the aspects already mentioned.
  • 2011-present. Finisterre Project (Institute of Nautical Archaeology – Archeonauta S.L). Archaeological and historical research of the 16th century shipwrecks located in the Finisterre area (Galicia, Spain). These shipwrecks are part of the 1596 fleet which sank in the Finisterre area while was heading to Ireland to disembark an expeditionary army to support the insurrection of the count of Tyrone against the English. The project also includes the archaeological research of the 16th century shipwreck located in the Ribadeo inlet (Galicia, Spain).
  • 2011-present. Nuestra Señora del JuncalReconstruction of the Spanish galleon Nuestra Señora del Juncal (1631) based on primary written sources, archaeological data, and iconographic evidence. The data is combined with the design methods of the seventeenth century using a CAD software package to produce the lines drawings of the galleon. A full three-dimensional model with the hull components and the complete sail plan of the galleon is also being constructed.
  • 2013 The Shipwreck of Gnalić – Mirror of Renaissance World. Photogrammetric mapping of the Gnalic Shipwreck (16th century).
  • 2008-2010 Bajo de la Campana (Institute of Nautical Archaeology – National Museum of Underwater Archaeology, Spain). Photogrammetric mapping of the 7th century BC Phoenician shipwreck to develop a GIS database for archaeological analysis (Murcia, Spain)
  • 2008 Mazarron 2 Project (Archeonauta S.L. – National Museum of Underwater Archaeology, Spain). Photogrammetric model of the 7th century BC Phoenician shipwreck Mazarron 2 (Murcia, Spain). The aim of the project was to produce a 3D model of the interior of the hull for the study of the ship construction.
