The Nautical Archaeology of Puerto Rico Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The waters of Puerto Rico harbour the remains of thousands of years of human occupation. The island played a key role in the first decades of European exploration of the New World, and its coasts and estuaries have preserved an extensive record of the island's maritime history, before and after the arrival of the Europeans. The objective of this project is to study Puerto Rico's seafaring history through the investigation of its submerged cultural heritage, with a particular focus on the history of European shipbuilding. In 2008 the authors started with survey on the north coast. 2009 The Authors. 2009 The Authors. Journal Compilation 2009 The Nautical Archaeology Society.
