Shipwreck Research

Gary Gentile conducts historical research on shipwrecks and maintains extensive files in his study. He can often answer questions about specific shipwrecks without leaving the room or putting down the telephone. Throughout the years he has provided copious amounts of shipwreck historical information for books, magazines, newspapers, and television, as well as descriptions of shipwrecks' current state of collapse.

Gary’s shipwreck data base comprises an extensive collection of books, original nineteenth-century newspapers, woodcuts and photographs, plans, postcards, and documents photocopied from original source materials found in archives, libraries, museums, and private collections.

If Gary does not have the information on hand, he will travel to the facilities which maintain holdings of data relating to shipwrecks and will conduct specific research that is required by the client.

The day rate applies for travel research, the hourly rate for in-house research, consultations, and telephone interviews, with the hourly rate based upon immediate or non-immediate needs. Contact Gary for a fee schedule.
