Report is a comprehensive list of shipwrecks that have occurred in Alaska from earliest Russian times (1741) to the pre-World War II era compiled from an extensive literature search. The shipwreck list is segregated by MMS, Alaska OCS Region lease-sale planning area. The report builds on the scholarship of previous shipwreck researchers and maritime historians but adds a new dimension: a thorough cross-checking for accuracy and consistency of individual wreck accounts against all the sources of record. The report summarizes the historic context of Alaskan shipwrecks and provides a general discussion of shipwreck causes and locations. Section VI of the report presents a series of six tables containing the basic data of a ship loss: OCS planning area location, vessel name, vessel type, date of wreck, location of wreck (not in latitude/longitude), cause of wreck, and other pertinent information important for vessel identification. Report data will assist the historic archaeologist and those involved in cultural resource management.
