Beached Shipwreck Archeology: Case Studies from Channel Islands National Park: Submerged Resources Center Professional Reports Number 18

This monograph presents research conducted from 1993-1999 on three beached shipwreck sites in Channel Islands National Park. The sites possible represent three Pacific Coast lumber schooners, J.M. Colman, Dora Bluhm and Comet, wrecked in the islands between 1905 and 1911. The schooner remains are used as case studies to develop a methodology for recording and interpreting beached shipwrecks, which through systematic documentation and analysis can yield important archeological information.
