Abstract

[Extract] Maritime archaeology has not fully explored the relationship between shipwrecks and their impacts on local communities. Shipwreck events play a part in a long-term process where the place continues to alter the surrounding environment and becomes a landscape. When a wreck occurs near shore or onshore in a remote area, it impacts on the land and creates archaeological signatures. However, when a ship wrecks near a settlement, its impact can also alter the actions, attitudes and dynamics of local communities. The effects of wrecks can affect the landscape over time through artefacts being moved and removed, folklore and place names.
