Airship R.38/ZR-2 Lost in the Humber Estuary, August 1921
Airship R.38 was on its fourth trial flight before being fully handed over to the US Navy as ZR-2 when it crashed into the Humber just off the waterfront of Hull in August 1921. This project aimed to recognise and elaborate the significance of the R.38/ZR-2 in time for the centenary of the crash in August 2021. The significance of R.38/ZR-2 is framed by its build, use and loss: the crash embodies the history of airship development to that time, b…
HMS Falmouth
HMS Falmouth is the only known wreck of a Town Class light cruiser, which were ‘arguably the best cruisers of the First World War’ (Lyon, 1977c: 49). This article reports on a project to better understand the significance of the wreck and to raise public awareness of the heritage of the First World War at sea. Although the wreck is heavily degraded it is still of considerable importance, raising methodological questions about the role of multibea…
The Ocean Decade Heritage Network
The Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030 is a UN initiative that promotes a common framework for supporting stakeholders in studying and assessing the health of the world’s oceans. The initiative also presents a vital opportunity to improve the integration of archaeology within the marine sciences. With the First Global Planning Meeting of the Decade held in Copenhagen at the National Museum of Denmark in May 2019, steps …
Heritage Assets in Inland Waters
This paper addresses the range of heritage assets that may be found under inland waters. The focus is on assets or features that go unnoticed because they are literally 'in' the water, beneath the surface. Heritage assets and their components under inland waters have received relatively little attention in England. Even in the case of recognisable significant assets adjacent to or spanning the water, the possible presence and significance of arch…

Old and New Threats to Submerged Cultural Landscapes
Submerged cultural resource managers have a daunting task; balance the protection of the underwater cultural heritage without denying or unfairly restricting economic development of the coastal zone. Underwater archaeological resources such as historic shipwrecks and submerged prehistoric sites can and have been impacted by fishing, farming, and energy development — both 'traditional' (i.e. hydrocarbon-based) and 'renewable' (i.e. wind, water, an…

The ‘Gresham Ship’
The 'Gresham Ship' was found in Princes Channel by the Port of London Authority in 2003. Investigations culminated in the recovery in 2004 of the remains of a small to medium-sized armed merchant ship built soon after 1574, probably in East Anglia or Essex. The wreck provides archaeological evidence of the documented practice of 'furring' (rebuilding a ship to increase its breadth). The cargo included folded iron bars, lead ingots and tin ingots,…
