Maritime Disasters

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sunk in natural disasters or warfare, destroyed in maritime catastrophes, abandoned or lost at sea, approximately three million ships worldwide have transformed into underwater graveyards, potential containers of historical treasure, as well as archaeological and diving sites. Often the destiny of a wreck is not peaceful even after the ship has sunk - ethical issues, property rights and protection of the world's cultural heritage are some of the issues related to shipwrecks. Learn more about the concept of shipwrecks, the role of their sunken remains in maritime archaeology, as well as the world's most famous maritime disasters in this book.
