Reviews

‘In this book Professor Craig Forrest offers a thoroughly researched, lucid, and comprehensive examination of the law and current affairs surrounding “legacy ships” sunk during World War I. The book will be a helpful tool for any organization, lawyer or government considering issues surrounding “legacy wrecks” whether sunk before or after WWI. The book is a meticulously researched and carefully structured contribution to wreck and heritage law, and to the discussion on the governance of such resources more generally.’ -- Eric Mahcum and Luke Hunter, Ocean Yearbook ‘The author’s skill in exploring the complexity of the law and international conventions on the law of the sea is precise. The book’s standard of presentation, editing and binding is a credit to the author and publisher. The contents of chapters, tables, legislation, citation of cases and index is professional and easy to follow when referring to matters discussed in the various chapters. The citing of footnotes is accurate and detailed. I commend the book to those with an interest in naval history.’ -- James Unkles, Law Institute Journal 'A timely piece of legal writing on maritime war graves, a topic generally neglected in the literature, offered by the specialist on this question from a law of the sea and maritime law perspective. Answering the main challenges posed by the subject through a masterful use of practice, jurisprudence and normative developments, Craig Forrest offers a complete analysis of, as well as solutions to, the problem of protecting these legacies beneath the waters that are simultaneously venerated places, archaeological sites and public properties of the flag States.' --Mariano Aznar, Universitat Jaume I, Spain 'An excellent and much-needed overview of the cultural heritage of the Great War at sea and its relationship to the law. Craig Forrest has produced a readable narrative which goes beyond dry legal argument to contextualise the archaeological and regulatory landscape as it affects nations and sea users today. An impressive, comprehensive and important contribution.' --Innes McCartney, Bournemouth University, UK
