Descripción
El Angel wreck site islocated in the shallow waters of southern Chinchorro Bank, in the CaribbeanSea, about 42 km off the eastern coast of Yucatan Pe­ninsula, Mexico. It is thegrave of a sailing vessel, which most likely sank after striking her bottomagainst the nearby coral reef barriers. At present, no upper works of the shipare preserved, then indicating that it was a wooden vessel (Teredo navalisaffectation in these waters is a major problem for conservation of organic materials).Archaeological investigation has been carried on this shipwreck since 2014 bythe Vice-Directorate of Underwater Archaeology, of the National Ins­titute forAnthropology and History (Mexico), in collaboration with internationalresearchers; studies have mainly focused on explore the shipwreck dating,geocultural origin, purpose, and particular issues, such as hull-construction,service-history and fate. Systematic excavations in the bow and mid-ship se­ctionhave led to know that the ship was built according 18th-century wooden shipconstruction, but featuring improvements developed by the industrial revolutionin shipbuilding, such as iron structural reinforcements and metal fasteners, aswell as Copper-alloy hull sheathing. Besides, it was discovered that thisvessel was loaded with a logwood cargo when it went to Davy Jones? locker. Atpresent, information obtained suggests that the wrecked ship was a long-servicemerchantman, probably built at early 19th century and later subjected to majorrepairs. Because its load, it is possible to assert that the ship was immersedin the British logwood traffic, a maritime sphere that linked Belize with theUS and Europe.
