| Abstract: | In April 2006, Alaska's Office of History and Archaeology collaborated with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the University of Rhode Island, the U.S. Minerals Management Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Sanctuary Program to collect information on five historic shipwrecks in Southeast Alaska. Under a grant from the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration, the project team documented the shipwrecks through dives, interviews, the use of a DIDSON sonar unit, and recordation of biota. Sediment samples adjacent to wrecks are being analyzed to detect changes in soil chemistry due to wreck degradation. These data sets will allow researchers to track changes to the sites as a result of vandalism and natural decay processes. Public education components of the project included public talks, radio and newspaper interviews, and the development of websites. |
