Abstract
The site of an intentionally abandoned vessel will differ greatly from the site of a shipwreck lost unintentionally. Relatedly, the processes of site development will also differ greatly between these two types of sites. This research illustrates these differences by studying historical contexts of four abandoned vessels located in a cove known as Shields Point found on the Blackwater River in Santa Rosa, Florida. Previous models of shipwreck site development are adapted to include sites of intentionally abandoned vessels.
