dc.description.abstractThe preliminary results of detailed geophysical surveys and diving operations at the Poompuhar, Tamil Nadu (India) wreck site are presented and discussed. The exploration was undertaken in two phases. The first phase involved the use of geophysical equipment and the second comprised visual inspection by diving. The study shows that the wreck is 200 years old and appears to be of moderate size and 50 m long. Its locating suggests Danish nationality and it possibles belongs to East India Company.
