About the Project
Wreck Intelligence is a free, global interactive shipwreck map. Every wreck on the map opens a detailed record compiled from published sources: vessel identity, loss history, position, depth, and reported conditions, with each claim cited. Coverage starts with the United Kingdom and Ireland and is expanding worldwide. It is built for interest and initial research, not dive planning; anyone considering a dive should rely on local professionals and current conditions.
The project also publishes an open longitudinal study of whether structured, well-sourced specialist content is retrieved and cited by AI search systems, at wreckintelligence.com/benchmark.
