Submerged Historic Properties Survey, Canaveral Harbor Entrance Channel Widener, Brevard County, Florida

Author(s): Gordon P. Watts, Jr.

Year: 1997

Summary

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, has proposed to construct a widener in the outer entrance channel to Canaveral Harbor, Florida. In order to determine the effects of the proposed construction on significant underwater cultural resources, Tidewater Atlantic Research, Inc., (TAR) of Washington, North Carolina was contracted by the Jacksonville District to conduct an archival and literature search and a remote sensing survey to locate, identify, and assess the significance of any underwater cultural resources in the proposed widener area. That survey was carried out between 2 and 6 August 1997.

Nine magnetic and/or acoustic targets were identified during the investigation. Four targets, CC-01, CC-04,CC-06, and CC-09, contained magnetic and/ or acoustic signatures indicative of those commonly associated with shipwreck material and were recommended for additional investigation. The other five targets, CC-02, CC-03, C-05, CC-07, and CC-08, appeared to be generated by modern material such as anchors or missile components and were not recommended for additional investigation.

This is a draft report.
