Long-Term Corrosion Processes of Iron and Steel Shipwrecks in the Marine Environment: A Review of Current KnowledgeJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 10 - Trang 191-204 - 2015
James D. Moore
Methodologies for examining the corrosion behavior of iron and steel shipwrecks have steadily progressed since the 1970s, but the analytical techniques utilized since then are comparatively site-specific, and the overall quantity of data available for independent review is seemingly limited. Laudable advancements in the fields of maritime archaeology, oceanography, and corrosion science support th...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing the Long-Term Efficacy of Geotextiles in Preserving Archaeological Wooden Shipwrecks in the Marine EnvironmentJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 13 - Trang 1-14 - 2017
Anastasia Pournou
Archaeological wood cannot be found preserved in the marine ecosystem unless it is buried in anoxic or dysoxic sediments. These habitats do not allow the growth and activity of wood degraders, and thus wooden shipwrecks can survive within these environments for centuries. However, due to natural factors or anthropogenic interventions wood can be re-exposed to the oxygenated water column, where it ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Offshore Oil Exploration Industry and Archaeology in the Gulf of MexicoJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 18 - Trang 351-369 - 2023
Douglas Jones
After several decades of technological, political, and legal buildup, the United States offshore oil and gas industry broke through shortly after the conclusion of World War II. Under the regulation and administration of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the industry quickly became a significant driver of the U.S. and world economies, and Gulf of Mexico reservoirs remain the largest source of o...... hiện toàn bộ
Viking-Age Sails: Form and ProportionJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 12 - Trang 1-24 - 2017
Vibeke Bischoff
Archaeological ship-finds have shed much light on the design and construction of vessels from the Viking Age. However, the exact proportions of their sails remain unknown due to the lack of fully preserved sails, or other definite indicators of their proportions. Key Viking-Age ship-finds from Scandinavia—the Oseberg Ship, the Gokstad Ship and Skuldelev 3—have all revealed traces of rigging. In al...... hiện toàn bộ
Changing Water Depths in the Eastern Part of Sydney Harbour due to Human ImpactsJournal of Maritime Archaeology - Tập 9 - Trang 159-171 - 2014
Phillip Mulhearn
Sydney Harbour has been significantly modified by human impacts from the start of the European settlement in 1788. Land clearing has accelerated soil erosion, resulting in increased sedimentation. Dredging has deepened many areas to accommodate ever-larger ships. In this paper a GIS method is used to map bathymetric changes in the eastern part of the harbour from 1903 to more recently. Dredged ar...... hiện toàn bộ
