Conservation of Historic Shipwrecks

Conservation of historic shipwrecks involves protecting and maintaining submerged ships to preserve their cultural, historical, and archaeological significance. This process helps prevent deterioration caused by natural factors like salinity, corrosion, and biological activity. Conservation may include stabilizing structures, controlling environmental conditions, and using specialized techniques to prevent further decay. The goal is to retain these underwater sites for future study, education, and public appreciation, ensuring that they remain intact as part of our shared heritage.
