The Significance of Shipwrecks
Why support expensive and sometime dangerous projects to study historic shipwrecks?
Kristina Kenniker, research assistant for the Waitt Institute explores that questions in her article submitted to The Bermudian, published September 15, 2014. A version of this article first appeared in 'Quest: The Journal of Global Underwater Explorers'.
In the article Kristina asks a couple of people involved with historic wrecks how they would answer that questions. This included our Custodian of Historic Wrecks, Dr Philippe Rouja.
