Book Description

The field of Maritime Heritage is fertile ground for interdisciplinary co-operation and understanding between scholars and researchers.

Reflecting the broad spectrum of topics embraced under the general heading of Maritime Heritage, as well as a variety of related areas, this book features the proceedings of the first international conference on the subject. The contributors focus on state-of-the-art technology and up-to-date discoveries, while archaeology, history, ethnography, museum studies and oceanography are just some of the disciplines employed in papers covering cultural heritage issues, underwater heritage, historic ports, maritime history, and ship preservation and ship wrecks.
