Abstract
There have been more than 5000 shipwrecks along the North Carolina coast since 1584. This figure does not include even more abandoned vessels. These sites have initiated not only a wide range of exploration as both amateurs and professionals have sought to acquire knowledge of the past but also exploitation as local watermen and salvors sought to recycle boats and their parts.
