Interactive sailing routes
National museum of underwater archaeology, Cartagena, Spain

Development of different interactive installations. The first is made up of four circular tactile screens embedded on a large steel ring, showing the various sea routes of the Spanish Empire in the Modern Age. Through an interactive earth globe, the visitor can select different routes which are lit up on a semi-sphere in the centre of the ring.

The second consists on a large format touch screen presenting the last journey of the Spanish frigate Las Mercedes which ended in its sinking at the hands of English ships off the coast at Cape Santa Maria.

The installation displays illustrations of the frigate showing all the ports of its last journey, and the details of each, through historical documents from the General Archive of the Indies.

The two installations are part of the museum renovation that took place due to the recovery of the Spanish coins treasure sunk with the frigate La Mercedes by English Army in 1804 and recovered by the company Odissey in 2007.
