Researching Shipwrecks Two of the most requested publications of this office have been "Principal Marine Disasters" and "U.S. Merchant Ship Losses". The value of both lists, however, has been greatly exaggerated. The former was a list taken from a standard World Almanac while the latter was a list of American merchant ships that were lost during World War II. In most cases, exact positions of the merchant ships were not known or were approximated. Entries such as, "lost in North Atlantic" were not uncommon. Essentially then these lists are of little use to the serious diver. The following is a list of sources that have some information related to sunken vessels. Also please find a list of books that have been written about shipwrecks. The subject has been well-documented and these sources may provide valuable research materials.

Shipwrecks in Lake Erie Hundreds of shipwrecks occurred in Lake Erie in the vicinity of Erie, Pa. There are a variety of reasons for the large number of wrecks. These include: Storms arise very fast on Lake Erie due to the shallowness and weather forecasting was quite poor during the days of sailing ships. The areas between Long Point and Presque Isle are prone to the development of heavy fog which made navigation more difficult. Traffic volume and crossing patterns increased the likelihood of collisions. Not only has there historically been a high volume of shipping traffic on Lake Erie, but there were crossing patterns established. Some shipping traffic was running up and down the through the Great Lakes while other ships were crossing regularly between the U.S. and Canada. During much of this time, there were no navigational aids such as radar, radio, and depth finders. Even lighthouses did not appear until the middle of the 1800's. Rules requiring running lights did not come into effect until 1853 and even then, some ships ran without lights, especially when smuggling between the U.S. and Canada. Schooners were required to tack in order to move up and down the lake, making it more difficult to predict their movement or position. Many wrecks have yet to be discovered, but some have been found and make excellent dives. Most of the deeper wrecks are well preserved by the cold waters of Lake Erie.

29. ANEGADA ISLAND, BVI - SHIPWRECKS The Saga of the Anegada Island shipwrecks 15001899. by Tage W. Blytmann. THE shipwrecksARE LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, PLEASE SELECT THE APPROPRIATE BUTTON http://www.blytmann.com/anegada.htm

The Saga of the Anegada Island Shipwrecks by Tage W. Blytmann From time to time I have been contributing manuscripts and research material to The Maritime Historical Research Society . Among these are the annotated lists of shipwrecks on Anegada Island, British Virgin Islands, presented here. While the Society has been involved in a number of activities connected with maritime history over the years, it is probably the underwater shipwreck activities on Anegada that has drawn the greatest interest, especially among individuals familiar with the treacherous reefs associated with that island. I am therefore including a selection of photographs, maps and miscellany illustrating the underwater diving activities; some of the salvaged articles, and a small selection of 17th and 18th century charts of the Virgin Islands and Anegada Island.. Loosely translated from Spanish, Anegada means "the drowned island"; the highest point on the island being only 30 feet above sea level. Given the location of Anegada, close to a major north-south shipping lane, and with extensive reefs extending all around the island and up to about 11 miles seaward towards the southeast, it's no wonder it has claimed so many unwary and unfortunate mariners. The earliest recorded wreck that I have been able to document was a Spanish vessel wrecked on Anegada in 1523. The most recent wreck included in the list is that of the Spanish steamer IDA wrecked New Years Eve, 1898/99. I have not included any wrecks from the 20th century since most of these can easily be researched, or are already well documented elsewhere.

The exciting history of shipwrecks and rescues which occurred on the Del-Mar-Va coastline is on display at the Life-Saving Station Museum. During the forty year (1875-1915) history of the United States Life-Saving Service, four thousand five hundred (4,500) lives were saved from the "perils of the sea", here, on the Eastern Shore of Delaware, Maryland and the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Over 100,000 lives were saved throughout the United States. Quite an impressive figure! The staff of the museum would welcome a visit from you during the coming year.

This page last updated: December 14, 2001 H istoric Shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico Part of the mission of the MMS is to ensure that significant archaeological sites are not adversely affected by oil and gas exploration and development. This responsibility often includes the protection of historic shipwrecks. Historical research conducted for MMS studies 89-0023, 89-0024, and 89-0025 indicates that over 400 ships have sunk on the Federal OCS dating from 1625 to 1951; thousands more have sunk closer to shore in state waters during the same period. Only a handful of these have been scientifically excavated by archaeologists for the benefit of generations to come. In several cases, the MMS has partnered with state and Federal agencies conducting this research. The work conducted by the MMS and other scientists in the Gulf of Mexico contributes to our understanding of how our Nation developed by studying the technology that fostered the growth of the United States.

Northern Shipwrecks Database This database was developed and compiled by Northern Maritime Research. It features more than 50,000 records of North American marine casualties over the last four centuries. The system was designed as a reference for resources for the study of shipwrecks concentrating on the area of North America between the 40th degree of North Latitude and the North Pole as well as Canadian vessels lost world wide. The database provides a quick guide to maritime casualties by vessel name, region or date of wreck. The system is based on data from government documents, port records, vessel lists and registries, and newspapers, plus hundreds of other references. The database includes references to over 700 sources including museum and archival material. Maritime History Archive Shipwrecks File This database includes information of shipping disasters taken from the shipwrecks files at the MHA. The data was compiled mostly from newspapers and reports of the Canadian Coast Guard and covers the period from 1880 to 1930.

Services Licensing Contact Us Site Map Florida Archaeology The Underwater Archaeological Preserves In 1987, Florida began to develop a statewide system of underwater parks featuring shipwrecks and other historic sites. The shipwreck preserves have become popular attractions for skin and scuba diving visitors to witness a part of Florida's history first-hand. They contain not only interesting archaeological features, but also an abundance of marine life that make the parks living museums in the sea. Each site is interpreted by an underwater plaque; a brochure and laminated underwater guides are available from local dive shops. The parks are open to the public year round, free of charge. There are six parks at present, and several others under development. Future Preserves If, in the course of your underwater explorations, you find a site that might be a potential candidate for a new Underwater Archaeological Preserve, you are encouraged to nominate it for consideration. The Bureau of Archaeological Research invites nominations for new underwater preserves throughout the State of Florida, whether located in inland waters, or offshore within Florida's territorial waters. A preserve should have public access, favorable diving conditions, and interesting cultural and natural site features. If selected, a site may then be designated as a preserve through a cooperative project between government and the public. The development of a new park is an excellent opportunity for a diving group to become involved in an underwater project with lasting results.

Travelling by water is often easier than travelling over land, but it is sometimes more dangerous. Weather, warfare, and navigational hazards and errors have led to countless ship losses, leaving behind a submerged record of human maritime history. Shipwrecks are time capsules that reflect the culture and technology of people long ago and offer opportunities to learn from their successes and failures. As we continue to explore underwater, reaching greater depths each year, new discoveries reveal more about what happened in history. Emanuel Point ship in Pensacola Bay.
