Maritime Cultural Heritage

Maritime Cultural Heritage (MCH) is cultural heritage that is formed by material and inmaterial remains of seafaring and the use(s) of sea located on dry land and under water. (source ?)


BalticRIM definition (Laura Seesmeri 2018):

Maritime cultural heritage is both tangible and intangible, and is associated with the connections people have with the sea and the resources originating from the different maritime communities in the past.

Maritime cultural heritage refers to the traces of people and the elements in the natural environment; the remains of the everyday lives of human beings living in interaction with nature constrained to maritime areas such as the coast, archipelago and open sea, and the elements, objects and places that are either terrestrial or partly or fully under water.

Maritime cultural heritage refers to both concrete traces of maritime cultural heritage in the landscape as well as skills and beliefs, habits and practices related to maritime issues passed from generation to generation and extended to different communities in order to present, construct and maintain their identities.

Maritime cultural heritage is associated with the settlement of coastal areas and archipelagos, seafaring and navigation, fishing and other hunting cultures by the sea, diving, and habits and beliefs related to maritime issues that connect humans to marine features and landscape, among others.


Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands:

The maritime heritage is all the heritage associated with water – all cultural remains, on and under the water and on land. (https://culturalheritageagency.nl/en/maritime-heritage date 28 May 2018, Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands)


Finnish Heritage Agency: Maritime Cultural Heritage Action Plan 2016 – 2020: The maritime heritage is widely conceived of all the built and archaeological traces of the environment that show the way people understand and use waterways in the past and now. Maritime cultural heritage is also a collection of materials collected and stored in archives, libraries and collections of museums that can be used to present and explore the past phenomena associated with the use of watercourses. Intangible values are also associated with the maritime cultural heritage.

Underwater Cultural Heritage

Underwater cultural heritage (UCH) formed by the material remains of seafaring and other forms of maritime cultural heritage and situated under water.


BalticRIM definition (Laura Seesmeri 2018):

The underwater landscape is an area under the surface of the water and the way people directly or indirectly perceive and imagine it. Its features are the results of the interaction between people and nature, reflecting various dimensions of time.

The underwater landscape discloses the connection people have with the sea. It is part of the environment that is perceived, imagined and lived either directly or indirectly by means of various acts, senses and associations.

The underwater landscape consists of environmental and natural elements, flora and fauna, traces left by human activity, such as wrecks, marine battlefields, waterways, harbours, maritime industry, and general traces of the history of settlement and the practising religion.

The underwater landscape is the shapes of the sea bed, the elements of the landscape at the bottom, the features of intermediate water, the light reflected from the water surface as well as traces of human life and maritime cultural heritage, which is either partly or fully under the surface of the water.

Understanding underwater landscapes gives a wide perspective to the connection between people and the sea, the confluence of the past and present, and the assessment of environmental changes and sustainable development by taking natural, cultural and social aspects of landscape into account.
