     Extractions: Its creation had been an ambition of the owner, Martin Woodward, since 1968, when he first started salvage diving on shipwrecks around the Isle of Wight. Martin has been a professional diver since the late 1960's, many years of which were spent deep diving in the North Sea and Middle East oilfields. However, his main interest has always been maritime history and identification of previously uncharted wrecks. Diver's Corner The Quarterdeck HMS Swordfish

     Extractions: Projects Home Index Help University Home Page The Roman Shipwrecks Project Evidence that Roman wrecks do in fact exist in British waters comes in the form of considerable quantities of continental pottery recovered in the nets of fishermen working in inshore waters although the sources of this material remain unidentified. Fig. 1 Samian ware from Pudding Pan - part of the Townley collection at the British Museum This project intends to conduct detailed surveys of three areas from which Roman material has been recovered in order to locate the sources. The surveys will combine the latest high-resolution marine geophysical survey techniques with diver surveys. The areas identified include an area off the North Kent coast at Herne Bay known as Pudding Pan or Pan Sand, the approaches to St Peter Port harbour in Guernsey, and an additional area yet to be chosen from the results of a survey of Roman material recovered by fishermen. Current work is focussed on Pudding Pan/Pan Sands.

     Extractions: Shipwrecks around Flinders Island The first and one of the most well known wrecks around the Furneaux Group is the Sydney Cove, wrecked in 1797. This was the first ship to be wrecked on the east coast of Australia, on rescuing the survivors the vast herds of seal were discovered around the Furneaux Islands, starting the sealing industry. Since that time the rocks, reefs, sandbars and gales have taken their toll on the unwary ships captains. Compared to today the waters around the Furneaux Group would have been hazardous for sailing ships with many uncharted rocks, reefs and with no modern navigational aids, lighthouses or charts of the area. Even today one should not get to complacent when sailing these sometimes treacherous waters. Today one can dive on many of the wrecks around the islands or view some of the wrecks that have grounded on the islands, one of the more famous is the Farsund, stranded on the south eastern end of Vansittart Island. You can also view one of the anchors from the G.W. Wolf outside the library in Whitemark. Sydney Cove - 1797 Bound from India to Port Jackson the ship leaked badly and was eventually beached on the small island known as Preservation Island on the 8 th Divers discovered the remains of the Sydney Cove in January 1977, and it is now protected as an historic shipwreck.

112. Chelsea
     Coastal tanker sunk in 1957 off Loblolly Cove near Thacher Island.  
     http://www.mass.gov/czm/buar/shipwrecks/ua-chels.htm
     
     Extractions: At 8:30 Sunday morning on February 10, 1957, after loading fuel oil for delivery to Newington, New Hampshire, the coastal tanker Chelsea left Boston. Visibility was good, but a 35-mph northwesterly wind was whipping up seas off shore. Captain Keith Beale hoped to avoid the rough water by hugging the shorline, taking advantage of the protection it offered. Around 11:30 a.m., Beale turned command over to his Chief Mate, and went below. About 1 hour later, Chelsea ground to a halt. The Chief had attempted a shortcut, popular with the Gloucester fishermen, between Straitsmouth Island and the Dry Salvages. He cut in too close to the submerged section of the Sandy Bay Breakwater on the outgoing tide and the tanker ran aground. The force of the impact opened a gash in its bow.

     Extractions: 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.

     Extractions: RELATED Review: Cussler's 'Fire Ice' lukewarm at best Review: 'Valhalla' vintage Cussler Sunken Confederate sub to be raised Tuesday (CNN) Clive Cussler has written a series of bestsellers about treasure hunters at sea, from "Raise the Titanic" to "Valhalla Rising," many starring man's man Dirk Pitt. But Cussler is also a real-life sea traveler, and in his new book, "Sea Hunters II," he goes in search of some of history's most famous shipwrecks. CNN "American Morning" anchor Bill Hemmer talked with Cussler Monday. BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: For decades, novelist Clive Cussler has thrilled fans with books about the hunt for shipwrecks. Along the way he has jumped off the page and founded an organization dedicated to the very hunt he writes about. His new book just out, "Sea Hunters II," is non-fiction. It tells readers about some of history's most intriguing lost vessels and the effort today to find their remnants. Fascinating stuff here beneath the sea.

     Extractions: Shipwrecks of the West Coast Trail by Tim French It was the spring of 1943, and a 15-year-old boy took his first summer job at the Pachena Point lighthouse on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Little did he know he would become a witness to one of the area's last major shipwrecks on record. On April 30, 1943, the Russian transport Uzbekistan lay wrecked on Darling Creek. Due to a gale and poor visibility, she had lost her position, and the strong northern current forced her ashore. Luckily the 50 crew members survived. But not all of the ships that have floundered on the shores of the West Coast Trail can claim the same. Richard Wells was that 15-year-old boy. Fifty-six years later he still remembers the day the Uzbekistan wrecked, and the ship's boiler and other machinery are still visible. Today, Wells is the author of A Guide to Shipwrecks Along the West Coast Trail , one of the most referred-to guidebooks on West Coast Trail shipwrecks. Although designed for hikers, his guide is also popular with anyone interested in the history of these shipwrecks. The West Coast Trail runs from Port San Juan, near Renfrew, to Cape Beale. Approximately 80 vessels were wrecked along the trail between 1854 and 1977. The earliest recorded shipwreck along the trail is the Brig William . She was wrecked on Jan. 1, 1854, and went ashore eight km east of Pachena Point. Her captain and cook drowned, but the remaining 14 crew members made it ashore. The coastal native people housed them and later took them to Sooke by canoe. Many other unfortunate ships would share the same fate as the

     Extractions: Home Archaeology Astrolabe Newsletter Become A Museum Member ... Trustees Search Go Shipwrecks One estimate is that there are over 1000 Shipwrecks in the waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands. What we know about most of them are cryptic mentions in obscure records, details in shipping records, records taken at the time of Hurricanes, and so on. The Turks and Caicos Islands Government, along with the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources, The National Trust and the National Museum are given the task to protect the wrecks and to prohibit any work that will ruin or corrupt the site and that would limit the potential scientific recovery of the information from the wrecks at a later date. Yes, but not in the commonly held sense. The Museum sees all wrecks as "treasure" ships but the treasure is not gold or silver: it does not have a financial value. What we see as treasure is the information that we can retrieve from the wreck, and in most cases, through historical document research and limited survey we gain this information. We must add here that there are few true "treasure ships". In most cases hunts for these ships are fruitless and expensive. The Museum along with many international organisations believes that searching for "treasure ships" takes away from the real search - that of recovering information. A ship that sank whilst trading salt is just as important as a ship carrying gold!
