Exploration of shipwreck off Konark coast, Odisha- A preliminary study
Abstract
Archaeological findings suggest that ports of Odisha were well connected with other ports of the Indian subcontinent and Persian Gulf, Red Sea and Southeast Asian countries. In the course of maritime trade, many vessels get wrecked due to various causes, but information on shipwrecks was available only from the 16th century onwards in the archives and libraries of India and overseas. CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, has undertaken shipwreck studies in Indian waters since 1988-89. In the recent past preliminary explorations of shipwrecks were carried out off the coast of Odisha. This paper deals with the results of the preliminary exploration of a shipwreck off the coast of Konark
