shipwreck sites
Submerged vessel remains
Shipwreck sites are locations where vessels have sunk or run aground, now resting on the ocean floor, lakebed, or shoreline.
These sites attract divers, archaeologists, and historians: The shipwreck site off the coast yielded artifacts from the 1700s.
Many are protected as underwater cultural heritage, with laws restricting salvage and disturbance.
