Abstract
The question of whether historic wrecks are risks or resources is a matter of perception and understanding. This paper discusses how shipwrecks can be, and have been, perceived as either risks and/or resources or neither, but yet how wrecks tend to be thoughtlessly labelled as resources, in particular by cultural heritage managers, a labelling with serious consequences for the management and curation of wrecks, encouraging or justifying actions by others which compromise the archaeological integrity and value of these sites.
