"Pearson's detailed research into every facet of this story uncovers a dizzying but entertaining tale of chicanery and self-interest, from ancient storms to buccaneering salvagers and into the equally stormy waters of archaeological orthodoxy and museum ethics in the 21st century. She navigates them confidently and with balance, identifying some significant dilemmas.-- ""Signals, Australian National Maritime Museum (Spring 2023)"" The Belitung shipwreck is an important case study that shows the complexity of the issues surrounding national and transnational heritage-creation processes involving shipwrecks and maritime heritage. I would like to applaud and thank Pearson for her work's extensive research and fresh approach, and for being brave enough to place this very polarized topic in the context of critical heritage approaches. Fortunately, since the Belitung matter much has happened to move the field of maritime and underwater cultural heritage away from the Eurocentric focus on shipwrecks. Dr. Pearson's book makes a very valuable contribution to this ongoing and polarized discussion.--Robert Parthesius ""Asian Review of World Histories, 11:2 (2023)"""
