Specifically, this study examines how well each software handles creating 3D renderings of ship models. Comparisons between quality, complexity handling, time, cost, and equipment requirements will be examined to better understand each program's strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, Agisoft Photoscan will demonstrate that it is still the preferred method for most professional and academic use for its high precision accuracy. While Qlone may be a reasonable choice for the average hobbyist or enthusiast due to its availability and relatively low cost.

As well, the data analyzed for Chapter III was provided by Dr. Filipe Castro. Table 1 depicted within Chapter III was gathered by Dr. Castro for use on the Nautical Archaeology Digital Library. All other work conducted for the thesis was completed by the student independently. Funding Sources Graduate study was partially funded by the Texas A&M Department of Anthropology and could not have started without its support vi

The focus will be on ships lost along the African coast as both historical documents and archaeological finds have accrued in association with these wrecks. By combining these sources, this thesis will describe the cultural context and physical evidence of these wrecks. Much of the historical evidence originates from the História Trágico-Marítima, originally published in Portuguese, with excerpts later translated into English by Charles Ralph Boxer, George Theal, Charles Ley, and Josiah Blackmore. Additionally, the material will be supported by a GIS visualization of known India Route wreck locations, namely in the form of point maps displaying the locations of the wrecks in reference to their geographic location and to each other. By creating a catalog with source materials drawn from both historical accounts and archaeological evidence I plan to weave together a cohesive understanding of Portuguese shipwrecks lost along the India Route.
