Deep Blue Marine, a marine salvage company specializing in recovery of “important treasures and artifacts worldwide,” launched a new Web site/blog detailing information about historical wrecks. The site is being promoted as a tool for students, teachers, historians and the curious alike.
Historical Wrecks, setup for the recording of historical information with regards to ship wrecks and recoveries, right now holds information on a variety of wrecks around the world. Particular areas of geographic coverage include Florida and different parts of the Caribbean.
Deep Blue Marine said Historical Wrecks will eventually contain wreck information such as manifests, passenger lists, survivor lists, last sightings and recoveries. Readers are able to submit additional information they may feel fits a particular wreck and, if validated by the company, will appear on the site. Users will also be able to interact with one another through posts.
