Article 1 of the ICOMOS-charter of 1996 as well as Article 1 of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Maritime Heritage of 2001 put emphasis on the fact that protection in situ should be the first option.","PeriodicalId":261832,"journal":{"name":"Heritage at Risk","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124365532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, one of the guiding legal principles of marine salvage in some places is that a wreck— even one that may have been underwater for hundreds or thousands of years — is “endangered,” and anyone who “rescues” it through recovery of its contents therefore should be entitled to a financial reward, not only for the rescue, but also for the risk and expenditure of one’s own assets in the recovery effort.","PeriodicalId":261832,"journal":{"name":"Heritage at Risk","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132039261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a watershed moment and today it would be difficult to overestimate the importance of this single event on local, regional, national and international history. Some may not realize, though, that in addition to naval aviation, the operation included the deployment by the Japanese Imperial Navy of five two-man midget submarines, known in code as ko-hyoteki or “A-targets.” These advanced secret weapons, developed in the 1930’s, were to make their way into Pearl Harbor and launch their torpedoes. One of the five submarines in this special attack unit inadvertently initiated armed response from the US forces more than an hour before the arrival of the Japanese aircraft squadrons. A small submarine was spotted outside the harbor attempting to enter the channel behind an incoming tug and barge. At 6:40 AM a PBY flying boat on morning patrol and the World War I-era destroyer USS Ward commenced the attack. One shot from the Ward’s #3 gun appeared to strike the conning tower of the sub, which then submerged amidst exploding depth charges, not to be seen again. Though this contact failed to sufficiently alarm those in command at the time, this was the first combat action of the events of that fateful day, the first shot of the war in the Pacific.","PeriodicalId":261832,"journal":{"name":"Heritage at Risk","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133974288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
