The National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) in the United States is dedicated to "preserving maritime heritage through the discovery, archaeological survey and conservation of shipwreck artifacts." Based on a fictional organization, the device of author Clive Cussler, the non-fictional version, NUMA, is a private non-profit organization headed up by Clive Cussler with the goal of preserving the maritime heritage through the discovery, exploration and conservation of shipwreck artifacts.

Cussler lives a life which closely parallels the recurring protagonist in his series of highly successful adventure novels, Dirk Pitt, the head of the fictional NUMA. The real world NUMA is a non profit organization and has actually discovered many sunken ships including the CSS Hunley.

The Seahunters

Cussler along with NUMA have helped produce a television series on underwater exploration called "The Seahunters" on which you can see the discovery and subsequent removal and conservation of the CSS H.L. Hunley in 1995. The show also features a number of other shipwrecks in various international locations, and on occasion the failure to find anything at all such as their attempts to find the Holland III prototype submarine. The show features Dr. Cussler, and James Delgado, also an author, and executive director of the Vancouver Maritime Museum. The show always gives an in depth and rich explanation of the story of the shipwreck they are diving, including information about what the ship did during it's life, how it sank. NUMA tends to focus especially on Union and Confederate ships of American origin from the early 1800's to ships of the early 1900's.
