Echoes from the Deep. Inventorising shipwrecks at the national scale by the application of marine geophysics and the historical text/Эхо из глубин. Изучение значения кораблекрушений в национальном масштабе с применением морской геофизики и исторического текста

Книга на английском языке
In a process analogous with the impact of aerial photography on landscape archaeology, survey by multibeam (a form of marine geophysics) is pinpointing the remains of thousands of shipwrecks across the seabed of the globe. This volume describes a multidisciplinary research project that set out to establish whether a large tranche of the shipwrecks in a given geographic region could be identified by name through the mutual study of the 3D models of the shipwrecks, alongside the historic text of shipping losses in the same area.
