INA's New Children's Mascot
Ina the Octopus and Her Shipwreck Adventure
written by Amy Way Anton and illustrated by Mary Faye Way
The idea of a children’s mascot for INA as a way to bring the world of nautical archaeology to children, was first discussed in 2007. There are plenty of INA excavators who can tell a good fish tale, but it was the team of Mary Faye Way and Amy Way Anton (wife and daughter of INA Past Chairman Peter Way) who worked together to create and publish "Ina the Octopus and Her Shipwreck Adventure."
Written by Amy and illustrated by Mary Faye, "Ina the Octopus" was published in time for the opening of the "Beyond Babylon" exhibition in New York in November 2008 and is the story of a resolute and curious octopod comfortably ensconced in a pithos called home in the middle of a fascinating shipwreck. That is until a nautical archaeologist turns up to excavate her neighborhood. How does it turn out?
