As an active archaeological site, this uncovered piece of the wreck offers a unique opportunity for knowledge building and community science.
A local student in Gloucester and a part of the Gloucester Transition Program, Thomas has been setting goals to get outdoors and conquer his anxiety for the past two years with the help of his teacher and biggest cheerleader, Heather Driscoll.
