The PIs propose a 3-year underwater archaeological investigation for the wreck of the Russian American Company frigate Neva, and the excavation of a site where possibly 26 survivors waited for rescue for 24 days in 1813. The proposed project would support three-years of collaborative research among Untied States and Russian scholars to investigate the shipwreck of the Neva, which was wrecked off Kruzoff Island near Sitka in January 1813 and a site on the adjacent mainland which is believed to have been the 1813 survivor's camp. The research coincides with the two hundred year anniversary of the shipwreck. The research will include underwater reconnaissance and archaeology at the purported shipwreck site, archaeological excavation at the survivor's camp, archival research, interviews, metallurgical, faunal analysis, XRF of glass artifacts, and public education. The applicants point out that the Neva is one of the most important ships in the history of Russian America because it was used in the first Russian voyage around the world and was engaged to retake Sitka from the Tlingit Tribes in 1804.

PIS提议对俄美公司护卫舰涅瓦号的残骸进行为期3年的水下考古调查，并挖掘1813年可能有26名幸存者等待救援24天的地点。拟议的项目将支持美国和俄罗斯学者开展为期三年的合作研究，以调查1813年1月在锡特卡附近的克鲁佐夫岛附近沉没的涅瓦号沉船以及邻近大陆上据信曾是1813年幸存者营地的地点。这项研究恰逢这起沉船事件200周年。这项研究将包括据称沉船地点的水下勘察和考古，幸存者营地的考古挖掘，档案研究，访谈，冶金，动物群分析，玻璃文物的XRF分析，以及公众教育。申请者指出，涅瓦号是俄美历史上最重要的船只之一，因为它被用于俄罗斯第一次环球航行，并于1804年从特林吉特部落手中夺回锡特卡。
