Abstract: |
Defining, Investigating, monitoring and reporting 2008-2011 The Solent has long been recognised for the importance of its marine heritage. The diversity and density of sites makes it one of the most high potential marine areas of England. The marine resources, sheltered anchorages and landing places which have drawn human populations to the area for millennia are also responsible for the modern prosperity of the region. Density of shoreside settlement and industry in addition to one of the busiest marine areas in the UK mean that the marine heritage resource is also under pressure. These factors helped prompt the establishment of the HWTMA which has responded through a research led fieldwork programme, a wide range of dissemination initiatives and input into regional management through coastal fora and groups. The HWTMA are well placed to respond on a regional basis to sites and finds which require investigation and monitoring whether these are underwater or are in the intertidal zone. However, the organisation's capacity to undertake such work is dependant on available resources. This project has provided funding to enable the HWTMA to work together with English Heritage to target work on marine heritage assets to enable more effective regional management and also provide a possible model for cost-effective support for developing national structures. The project has allowed the flexible targeting of site investigation, monitoring and reporting. It has supported: Work on Solent Designated Historic Wreck Sites Investigation and monitoring on non-designated wreck sites |

Note: |
This report details the site survey which was undertaken on the HMS Velox wreck on 5th and 9th July 2010. The site is located one and a half miles to the East of Bembridge, Isle of Wight. HMS Velox was a British Destroyer sunk by a mine on the 25th October 1915. The vessel is significant within the development of ship propulsion as one of the earliest examples of the use of turbines.
