From aerial survey to zoology, Part I of this two-part encyclopedia
covers all aspects of underwater archaeology, treasure hunting and
salvaging. For example, entries are included for different types of
artifacts, notable treasure hunters, the various salvaging
equipment, and techniques in mapping and excavating. Part II covers
the shipwrecks themselves, dividing them into 13 geographical
categories. Beginning with the northernmost category (Canada) and
ending with the southernmost (South America), every known shipwreck
- both identified and unidentified - receives an entry in
alphabetical order under its appropriate geographical category.
Entries are by name, such as Andrea Gail, Titanic, and Queen Ann's
Revenge. Unidentified is used when a shipwreck's name remains
unknown. Entries give the nationality (e.g., Spanish, British,
American), type (schooner, frigate, brig are three), function
(examples: slave transportation, piracy, fishing), location and
history of the shipwreck.
