摘要

In November 2009, Earth Search, Inc. (ESI), was contracted by the Minerals Management Service (MMS) (now the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE)) to identify and obtain photocopies of sea or ship protests held by the New Orleans Notarial Archives (NONA) and to develop probability locations of shipwrecks based on the acquired historic data. The current research involved archival data collection to update, expand, and evaluate the existing shipwreck database developed by BOEMRE. Since the 1970s, such studies have resulted in an in-house database containing over 3,000 entries, derived from secondary sources and other existing databases. Despite this research, several historic shipwrecks have been identified in industry surveys on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that appear to have no corresponding analog in the BOEMRE database. It was long believed that these vessels were simply lost to the historical record and the documentation on the event of their loss was no longer extant. It now appears, however, that previous researchers contracted by the former MMS overlooked the potentially rich source of information at the NONA, which houses the City of New Orleans notary records from 1733 to 1970. A large number of these documents relate to bills of sale, wills, and property inheritance matters; however, among the documents are sea protests. This archival source of information was not accessed by previous researchers yet contains a wealth of previously unknown information about historic shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
