This book stems from the results of an interdisciplinary European
Union supported research project, WreckProtect, which investigated
the decay and preservation of wooden shipwrecks under water in the
Baltic Sea. It is not limited to the decay of wrecks in the Baltic
alone and is aimed at all stakeholders with a vested interest in
the protection of the underwater cultural heritage including marine
archaeologists, conservators, engineers, and students in related
fields at universities around the world. The book includes chapters
on the anatomy and structure of wood and the physical and
biological decay of shipwrecks under water. Well-known shipwrecks
in the Baltic Sea are introduced, focusing upon their state of
preservation and are compared to finds typically found in the North
Sea and the Mediterranean. Microbial decay processes and their
identification in both sediments and the water column are also
discussed and related to other natural decay processes, as well as
human impacts. Finally, a summary of available methods for the
in-situ protection of wrecks is presented and a cost-benefit
analysis of in-situ preservation versus conventional raising and
conservation is given.
