11. BBC News | FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT | Landlocked Shipwrecks
    From the BBC, Malcolm Billings studies the shipwrecks being discoverd on land reclaimed from the sea in the Netherlands.  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/1102498.stm
    
    Extractions: By Malcolm Billings If an archaeologist claimed to find medieval shipwrecks in forests and cornfields you might well be sceptical. Shipwrecks in the normal course of events are rarely found by farmers. But the plough has become a major archaeological tool in the Netherlands. Many of the ships discovered by farmers in the Netherlands have V-shaped slices out of their sides. It is where the plough has taken a bite just under the surface. More than 400 wrecks have been found like this and more turn up every year. It only made sense to me when I realised that I was on reclaimed land and that the cornfields and forests were about three metres below sea level. I was on the bed of the former Zuider Zee - what was once a large inland sea in the centre of the Netherlands. Since the 1930s the Dutch have systematically created a unique landscape by reclaiming large parts of the sea for farmland. New landscape Whole new provinces have been created by pushing back the water and new towns, industrial areas and much-needed agricultural land has emerged from the sea bed.

    Extractions: The cold fresh water of Minnesota’s lakes and rivers have preserved an important part of our history - in shipwrecks! Each one is a unique and integral part of the fabric of America's maritime heritage. Together, they provide physical contact with and offer an exciting opportunity to explore the past. Because they represent a valuable but finite and nonrenewable resource, we must provide for their protection and preservation. If we don't, the first generation to have ready access to shipwrecks will be the last to enjoy them. In the interest of preserving Minnesota's Lake Superior shipwrecks and other underwater archaeological sites in Minnesota’s lakes and rivers, the State Historic Preservation Office of the Minnesota Historical Society has initiated a program of submerged cultural resource management. The Society hopes you will join its effort to preserve our maritime heritage.
