USS Constitution Copper Award

Brett Eldridge and Tyler Stalter received the USS Constitution Copper Award for their dedication to locating and documenting U.S. Navy wreck sites off the Southern California coast. They have worked independently for four years, maintaining respect for the wrecks, as some are graves, and reporting their findings to the Navy History and Heritage Command. The award acknowledges their successful efforts in underwater archaeology and preservation. The USS Constitution itself is a historic naval ship that symbolizes innovation and achievement.
