shipwreck recovery

Shipwreck recovery involves locating and retrieving artifacts, cargo, or even sunken ships from underwater sites. This process typically includes surveying the area using sonar technology, then sending divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to explore the wreck. Recovery teams often aim to preserve historical items while considering legal aspects, such as ownership and maritime laws. The recovered items provide valuable insights into history, trade, and maritime technology. This field requires expertise in underwater archaeology, engineering, and conservation to ensure that both the site and artifacts are treated respectfully and preserved for future study.
