Perdidos à vista da Costa. Trabalhos arqueológicos subaquáticos na Barra do Tejo
Year: 2020
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: All ships entering or leaving Lisbon, the capital of a vast Maritime Empire since the 15th century, have to pass through one of the two narrow canals at the entrance to the Tagus. These channels are limited by the coast but also by two sand banks, called “Cachopos”. By its geography, this area is well protected from the north or east winds, but entirely open to southern storms. Especially during these storms, several ships sank on the north coast, or against both sand banks. Since the 1960s, several early modern and contemporary shipwrecks have been discovered in this area. This communication intends to present the work taking place since 2015, within the framework of the Cascais Underwater Archaeological Chart.
