This is a comparative study of the storm wreck site in St. Augustine, Fl. The purpose of this study is to better define what kind of site the storm wreck is. I looked at three different types of maritime sites; shipwreck, emergency weight dump, and salvage sites. I created standards of what should be in each of these sites to be compared to known shipwrecks, emergency weight dumps, and salvage site. Finally I use my standards and determine that the Storm Wreck is a shipwreck.
