Book Texas Shipwrecks

Download or read book Texas Shipwrecks written by Mark Lardas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas coastline and offshore waters are flat, shallow, featureless, and filled with shoals. Texas waters are subjected to extreme weather, not just hurricanes and tropical storms but also northers and seasonal gales. This, combined with two centuries of naval warfare off Texas waters, produced many shipwrecks of all sorts, from Spanish treasure fleets to simple working boats. The ships of pirates, navies, cotton traders, immigrants, fishermen, and oil shippers line the Texas coast, cover the sea bottom off Texas, and blanket the bottom of Texas rivers. Each wreck has a story, romantic or repellent, prosaic or unusual, but all intriguing.

Book Refining and Revising the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf Region High Probability Model for Historic Shipwrecks

Download or read book Refining and Revising the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf Region High Probability Model for Historic Shipwrecks written by U S Department of the Interior Minerals and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, the Federal government initiated a program to protect cultural resources existing on the submerged lands of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) of the United States from the effects of Federally funded and permitted activities. This program arose out of a variety of legislation enacted to ensure the proper management and protection of the nation's cultural heritage. The most pertinent of these laws were the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the National Environmental Policy Act(1969), and the OCS Lands Act Amendments of 1978. The program was initially placedunder the authority of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS), and of particular concern was the impact that Federally permitted mineral exploitation-principally oil and gas exploration and production-and Federally funded projects might have on cultural properties on the OCS. Section206(g)(3) of the OCS Lands Act Amendments of 1978 states specifically that "such exploration (oil and gas) will not. . .disturb any site, structure, or object of historical or archaeological significance."

Book Historic Shipwrecks of the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia

Download or read book Historic Shipwrecks of the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia written by Jacques Marc and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Columbia’s rugged Southern Gulf Islands enticed many pioneers, explorers, colonists, miners, and adventurers in the mid 19th century. Fog, wind, strong currents and the lack of aids to navigation made navigating these striking and treacherous islands a hazardous business. Many vessels and seafarers did not survive their intended voyages, and their forgotten remains now litter the sea floor, visited only by intrepid divers searching for clues to the past. As one reads this book, stories will unfold which remind us that not so long ago, travelling by ship along the British Columbia coast would have challenged even the most seasoned mariner, and that danger lurked below the water’s surface. Historic Shipwrecks of the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia is a compilation of 14 stories about Shipwrecks throughout those islands. This book not only follows the history of each vessel and their loss, but also describes for the lay person what divers will see when they dive on the sites today. This book is a must have for those with an interest in British Columbia’s maritime history. It is one of a series of shipwreck publications produced by the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia to make the province’s submerged cultural history accessible to everyone.
