The wreck, located during a 1994 shipwreck survey, is INA's first excavation in Egypt. Founded by Dr. Cheryl Ward and Douglas Haldane, INA-Egypt's mission is the exploration and preservation of Egypt's maritime heritage. Egyptian and American conservators in the Alexandria Laboratory for the Conservation of Submerged Antiquities, a joint project of INA-Egypt and Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), work together to preserve the thousands of objects diving archaeologists retrieve from the sea. In 1998, INA-Egypt returned for a final excavation season at Sadana Island.
