Preservation of Shipwrecks

Preservation of shipwrecks involves protecting and maintaining sunken ships to safeguard their historical, cultural, and archaeological significance. This process includes underwater archaeology, conservation techniques, and often involves collaboration between governments, scientists, and local communities. Efforts aim to prevent deterioration caused by natural elements and human activities. By studying these wrecks, we gain valuable insights into maritime history, trade, and technology of the past. Preservation can also contribute to tourism and education, allowing future generations to connect with their heritage and understand the importance of maritime exploration.
