Shipwrecks & Crash sites

Shipwrecks can be both extraordinary and somber locations to visit but in nearly every case, they provide fascinating insights into an area’s maritime history and cultural identity. They often serve as memorials to those lost at sea, reminding us of the sacrifices made by sailors. While shipwrecks can offer economic benefits through tourism they also can have a damaging effect on local environments and marine ecosystems. Preserving shipwrecks and their narratives helps maintain their historical, cultural, and ecological value and ensures they continue to represent the maritime history and heritage of the regions in which they are found. And of course, they often make for great and unique adventure destinations.
