Maritime Cultural Landscapes of the Colombian Caribbean
This article examines the Maritime Cultural Landscape (MCL) of the Colombian Caribbean (CC) through a participatory and interdisciplinary approach that integrates historical cartography, a legal framework, images, collective memory, and community-based knowledge. Using case studies from Cartagena de Indias, Barú Island, and the Archipelago of San Andrés and Old Providence, the research combines workshops with young participants and academic discu…
Climate Change Impacts on Unesco Heritage
Since the mid-nineteenth century, anthropogenic activities, primarily industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions, have significantly contributed to global ocean warming and sea level rise (SLR), posing substantial threats to coastal heritage sites. Between 1901 and 2018, sea levels rose by approximately 0.20 metres, largely driven by human-induced climate change. This study examines the impact of climate change on Fort San Juan de Manzanillo,…
Shipwrecks, Hurricanes, and A British Hydrographic Survey
The Introduction of American Naval Ordnance in the Caribbean Sea in the Late Modern Period
Since the 1970s, the Caribbean has been a hub for nautical archaeology, often focusing on European naval ordnance as evidence of early modern maritime occupation. The mid-nineteenth century ushered in a new military context with rapid American expansion, introducing contemporary innovations in American naval artillery. This study delves into the significance of American naval ordnance in the late nineteenth-century Caribbean, with a focus on its …
Mapping the Unknown
Combining Historical, Remote-Sensing, and Photogrammetric Data to Estimate the Wreck Site of the USS Kearsarge
Colombia has hundreds of historical shipwrecks, but systematic research on this topic is scarce, which makes locating wreck sites problematic. Colombia is home to the Caribbean archipelago of San Andres, Old Providence, and Santa Catalina. Its complex environmental conditions make it a “ship trap”. On 2 February 1894, the USS Kearsarge ran aground on Roncador Cay, one of the Archipelago’s islets, and the location of the wreck site remains uncerta…
Preserving Sunken Military Vessels as Underwater Cultural Heritage in Colombia
This study examines the legal challenges related to preserving sunken military vessels as Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) in Colombia. These challenges include Spanish galleon shipwrecks, limited international cooperation, and the lack of legal recognition for sunken military vessels under domestic law (Law 1675 of 2013). To address these issues, this article reviews the concepts of warship and sovereign immunity as they relate to the status o…

Shipwrecks on Roncador Cay, the Caribbean Sea and Their Relationship with Hurricanes, 1492-1920
Previous studies suggest that tropical storms and hurricanes are among the leading causes of shipwrecks in the Caribbean Sea since 1492. This paper will explore the relationship between shipwrecks and hurricanes in the Western Caribbean, particularly Roncador Cay, a place with complex environmental conditions that have made this area a trap for ships, but has up until now, been without rigorous shipwreck analysis. This study covers the period 149…
Shipwreck in the Caribbean Sea
The United State Ship (U.S.S.) Kearsarge, a Sloop of War, is considering the most famous and glorious ship of the American Civil War after sinking the Confederate State Ship (C.S.S.) Alabama, in 1864 in France. It also represented technological innovations in the second half of the 19th century, combining steam power and sails. After shipwreck on Roncador Cay, Colombia, in 1894, it was abandoned with the armament onboard (seven guns). This paper …
