TRANSCRIPT
D o you love authentic brands and exciting stories of discovery? Do you embrace a casual lifestyle that enables you to experience even just a small part of an
adventurous expedition? Then you are already nearly a member of the Arqueonautas crew!
We are opening yet another chapter in our history of success and following the Arqueonautas crew to the southern tip of England. Cornwall has not just provided the inspiration for our newest collection – it is also the scene of an expedition by our excellent archaeologists, who are diving into the history of the world’s waters just beyond the Isles of Scilly.
I cordially invite you to learn more about our fabulous collection, the expedition, and our partner Kevin Costner. Feel free to contact us!
Sincerely yours,

T hey recover ships and their treasures, long thought to be lost forever, with the aim to preserve our maritime heritage. For over
20 years now, the team of archaeologists for the Arqueonautas Foundation has made this their mission.
The archaeological marine institute was founded by nikolaus Graf Sandizell in Portugal in 1995. By combining the “Argonauts”, heroes of Greek mythology, who sailed on the ship “Argo”, with Arqueologia, Portuguese for archaeology, the name Arqueonautas Worldwide Arqueologia Subaquática S.A. was born. Over the years, the organization has turned into a non-profit foundation dedicated to the protection of the world’s maritime heritage.
“We would like to give everyone the chance to experience the significance of seafaring to our culture,” explains Nikolaus Graf Sandizell. “For this, we dive into its history, which literally lies on the floor of the world’s oceans, and document it in collaboration with govern-mental organizations. Part of our not-for-profit work
The story behind a team of archaeologists and a lifestyle brand
Recovering ships and their treasures, long thought to be lost forever, to
preserve our maritime heritage – this has been the mission of the Arqueonautas
Foundation since 1995.
includes salvaging items for scientific purposes and giving renowned museums access to exhibition pieces.”
The Arqueonautas Foundation’s team consists of historians, archaeologists, science and academic experts, as well as experienced research divers.
“Our work – actually, I’d prefer to say our adventure – begins with a glance in the history books,” says Miguel Gomes da Costa. “First, the Arqueonautas historians have their turn. They research archived material, looking for events of cultural significance.”
Significant events took place along the historical travel and trade routes. The Arqueonautas team is currently exploring the Scilly naval disaster from 1707 – one of the largest calamities in the history of British seafaring to date. The aim of this expedition is to find the “HmS romney”, which was sunken during the Scilly naval disaster and that continues to remain unaccounted for today.
This expedition is being carried out in collaboration with the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly maritime Archae-ology Society (CISmAS).
In 2008, there was the idea to create a collection for the Arqueonautas crew – and thus the ArQUEOnAUTAS casual lifestyle brand was born.
“The history of seafaring lies on the floor of the world’s oceans.”
Ever since then, the crew has been incorporating its needs for functionality, design, and quality into the collection. Furthermore, the expeditions involving archaeologists, scientists, and divers have become an integral part of the casual lifestyle brand. The Arqueonautas crew’s passion and their maritime ad-ventures provide the inspiration for the collections and products by ArQUEOnAUTAS.
Each ArQUEOnAUTAS customer becomes a crew member. That’s because, for every collection item sold, the casual lifestyle brand donates 1 euro to support the work of the Arqueonautas Foundation. “In this way, everyone makes an important contribution to preserving our maritime heritage when they pur-chase one of our products,” says Heinz Höddinghaus, Co-CEO for ArQUEOnAUTAS.
What’s more: As a co-owner and partner of ArQUEOnAUTAS, Kevin Costner is also a member of the crew. Become a friend, too, and follow our adventures!

k evin Costner is much more than just a Hollywood star. He is a passionate diver and fisher. He loves nature and enjoys
time spent with his family at the water and in the mountains. It’s Kevin Costner’s lifestyle that has created a bond between him and ArQUEOnAUTAS.
“The story behind the brand fascinates me. The divers from Arqueonautas salvage shipwrecks and their treasures in seas around the world. They live a bit of maritime adventure. I’m proud to be a partner to ARQUEONAUTAS and do what I can to preserve the world’s maritime heritage.”

“I’d rather walk through the sand barefoot
than on the red carpet.”
Actor, musician and Oscar®-winner Kevin Costner is a passionate diver. As much as possible, he spends time with his family at the sea or on the water.
“I love the sea. What many don’t know is that I worked as a fisherman to earn money for college. So I know what it means to travel the waters.”
A years-long partner and co-owner of ArQUEOnAUTAS, Kevin Costner contributes his experiences to the collection of this lifestyle brand. He is closely integrated into the design and development process. With his high demands on quality, handling and design, he continually creates and enhances the products together with the ArQUEOnAUTAS team.
T he 2015/2016 autumn/winter collection by ArQUEOnAUTAS has been inspired by the landscape of Cornwall.
This new collection – encompassing jackets, cardi-gans, sweaters, shirts, blouses and pants – reflects the brand’s essence: authentic, casual lifestyle fashion with maritime roots.
The idea to focus on Southern England comes from the Arqueonautas Foundation’s current expedition. Along the southern tip of the United Kingdom, archaeologists from the Arqueonautas team have been researching the Scilly naval disas-ter of 1707 – one of the largest calamities in the history of British seafaring to date.

Fall / Winter 2015
The aim of this expedition is to find the “HmS romney”, which was sunken during the Scilly naval disaster and that continues to remain missing today. This non-profit expedition is being carried out in collaboration with the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly maritime Archaeology Society.
The Cornwall peninsula in southwest England – with its cliffs, beaches and scattered mediterranean fauna – provided the inspiration for the collection’s color palette and patterns, which includes a full range of fashion for active men and women as well as a shoe collection.
