Battle of the Atlantic
To document historically significant shipwrecks that were tragically lost in the Battle of the Atlantic during World War II, the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, in collaboration with its partners, conducts summer maritime archaeological expeditions off the coast of North Carolina. The project is dedicated to raising awareness of the war that was fought so close to the American coastline and to preserving our nation's maritime history.
