Underwater Archaeological Survey of the SS Samuel J. Tilden Wreck (Bari, Italy)

View through CrossRef
Recent underwater and remote sensing surveys identified, located, and documented the wreck of a Liberty-class cargo ship, SS Samuel J. Tilden, which sank during the German raid of Bari in December 1943. The use of remote sensing technologies (MBES, ROVs) and the photogrammetric acquisition for the creation of 3D models were central for a comprehensive analysis of the wreck site. The analysis of remote sensing and photogrammetric data indicates a well-preserved wreck, as previously noted in avocational underwater surveys, and a complex maritime landscape. By applying remote sensing and non-invasive technologies to conflict archaeology remains, this paper provides a basis for future studies on World War II wrecks in Italy.
