Introduction

Maritime safety has undoubtedly improved in the last century as a result of a combination of factors including: technological advancement; better training; and regulatory development (Allianz, 2012). However, despite such improvement seafaring remains a relatively dangerous occupation (Hansen, 1996; Roberts and Marlow, 2005; Borch et al., 2012). One way to improve safety at sea is to ‘learn’ from past accidents. For this purpose, maritime authorities around the world invest a considerable amount of resource in investigating accidents and producing reports. Most reports offer a detailed account of what took place and attempt to identify all the relevant factors and contributory causes. While they frequently provide rich information, meticulous analysis and detailed insight, such accident reports are generally read as

Hydrological Algorithms Help to Uncover Sunken History

By Dylan Davis, Dani Buffa, Amy Wrobleski• April 8, 2021

Archaeologists have long been interested in shipwrecks. These sites can tell us about ancient transportation and trading routes, technological innovations and cultural exchanges over thousands of years. Documenting shipwrecks can be a difficult task, however. With breakthroughs in remote sensing technology (specifically sonar and radar), researchers have been able to acquire highly resolved maps of ocean floors. Consequently, we can also locate cultural objects – like shipwrecks – sitting on the bottom of oceans, lakes and other bodies of water.

Machine learning, AI and other computerized methods of analysing imagery have made incredible strides possible in many research areas. Algorithms have been devised to locate everything from buildings, roads
