Fact Check Against Historical Records
An asset in the investigation of historic shipwrecks is contemporary documentation which may help in the identification of period wrecks. Archives in France, Spain, Cuba and Florida house extensive records concerning ships, crew and cargo during the Colonial period. While it is not always possible to link a specific wreck to a historically documented vessel, especially in the case of potential pirate or contraband vessels, historical sources prove invaluable in the interpretation of wreck finds. Multiple skills are utilized in the investigation of archival material, the reading of multiple languages as well as familiarity with historic calligraphy being perhaps paramount among these. Careful review of historic and archival material can be of great use in the identification, understanding and contextualization of archaeological sites.
