Fathoming our past : historical contexts of the National Marine Sanctuaries

Second edition of a resource produced by NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, updated since the first printing to include coverage of three newer sanctuaries and the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, as well as new information on the originally covered sanctuaries. This publication places the sanctuary system's maritime heritage resources in context with their time, place, and contemporary historical background. It is intended to help educate sanctuary personnel and visitors about historical events that took place in these regions, and also to identify potential areas in which further archaeological research should take place. Features numerous well-annotated historic illustrations and an extensive bibliography
