A global array of case studies demonstrating practices for preserving the maritime cultural heritage of vulnerable shipwrecks

Shipwreck sites in intertidal zones--the parts of shorelines that are exposed at low tide and covered at high tide--are located within dynamic environments. Periodically uncovered and reburied, these stranded vessels are affected by surf and currents that accelerate the decay of their remains, and their materials are often salvaged. This volume presents 17 case studies from 9 countries on the management of intertidal shipwrecks and strategies for conservation, archaeological research, and public outreach focused on such sites.
