An overview of shipwreck explorations in Indian waters
Abstract
The archaeology of ships, called nautical archaeology (from the ancient Greek word for ship ‘naus’), also reveals design and construction details of various types of watercraft, including merchant vessels, warships and fishing boats. The study of shipwrecks provides an understanding of the technical achievements and interactions of people in the past; hence shipwrecks occupy a special niche in archaeology.
