regarded as having special interest are likely to relate to technological changes and to local and global activities during this period.





Post 1945: the final period extends from 1946 through the post-war years to the present day. Vessels from this date range would have to present a strong case if they are to be considered of special interest.


52.


According to this composite timeline, vessels that pre-date 1816 are likely to be considered of special value on the basis of their rarity and subsequent national and international importance in our understanding of maritime activity and shipping movements during these periods.


53. Wrecks dating from 1816 to the present day are more plentiful amongst known wrecks and their special value thus depends upon their ability to exhibit both integral and relative factors based on attributes relating to the WA ‘BULSI’ system (Build, Use, Loss, Survival and Investigation) of wreck assessment. For a wreck of this period to be of special interest it is likely to have to make a distinctive contribution in respect of one or more of the following (Wessex Archaeology 2011a-d):


  


 


54. Illustrate a key narrative of the period; Represent a distinct and tangible link to significant persons or events;


Be representative of significant loss of life or related responses in seafaring safety;


Have made a distinct cultural contribution; and Have current relevance or parallels.


In addition, in order to have special interest a wreck must be considered to have relative merit in comparison to other wrecks or surviving vessels of the period (Wessex Archaeology 2011a-d). The factors used to express relative merit are likely to include the following:


    


Rarity;


Representation; Diversity;


Survival; and Setting and context.
