Knowing where these vessels are helps oil response planning efforts and may help in the investigation of reported mystery spills--sightings of oil where a source is not immediately known or suspected. The sunken vessels are a legacy of more than a century of U.S. commerce and warfare. The scope of the problem is much more manageable than initially thought. With this assessment we can put reliable bounds on the potential oil pollution threats and start to plan accordingly. The distribution of vessels is skewed heavily to World War II casualties in the Battle of the Atlantic. Some of these vessels may be eligible for listing under the National Register of Historic Places, in addition, many of them are either civilian or military gravesites. The intent of this data is to provide an assessment of the threat of oil pollution from potentially polluting wrecks in U.S. waters. onGoing Office of Response and Restoration 1305 East-West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link ORR Home Page Website listed for Office of Response and Restoration information custodian EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS > MARINE DEBRIS REMOVAL EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS > OIL SPILLS theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 RULET RUST Resources and Undersea Threats Shipwreck theme DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
