I came across this Youtube video of Frederick “Fritz” Hanselmann tat the University of Miami talking about the breadth and depth of Caribbean shipwrecks and sites and how they represent all aspects of civilization from Paleoindians to World War II.
Exploring Caribbean Shipwrecks
These shipwrecks and sites are part of the culture that developed from centuries of settlement so wonderfully described in the book, Empire's Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day by Carrie Gibson. I read this book as I was preparing for a trip to the Cayman Islands a few years ago. On the islands one find manifestations of this maritime trade from wrecks to out of the way roadside displays.
