| 摘要： | This multidisciplinary study focuses on the biological and archaeological aspects of seven World War II era shipwrecks in the north-central portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Six of the vessels (Virginia, Halo, Gulfpenn, Robert E Lee, and Alcoa Puritan) were lost to wartime activity between early April and late July 1942. The seventh vessel, the Steam Yacht Anona, was lost to an accident in 1944 after all the U-boats had left the Gulf of Mexico. All seven shipwrecks were discovered during Oil and Gas surveys and reported to the MMS as required by Federal regulations. Water depth at the investigation sites ranges from 87 to 1,964 meters. Each shipwreck was investigated to determine site boundaries, National Register eligibility, preservation state and stability, and the potential for manmade structures or objects to function as artificial reefs in deepwater. |
