Summary

GIS spatial data for Protected Wreck Sites, part of the National Heritage List for England. Protected Wreck Sites are represented by a polygon defining the extent of the protected area.

The Protection of Wrecks Act 1973 allows the Secretary of State to designate a restricted area around a wreck to prevent uncontrolled interference. These protected areas are likely to contain the remains of a vessel, or its contents, which are of historical, artistic or archaeological importance.
