"...we congratulate the editors for having the will and the courage to publish almost exhaustively these proceedings, including no fewer than 88 papers, which may explain the delay in publication. In doing so, they give an account, without complacency, of the state of current research in nautical archaeology. Their merit is even greater, that the whole is of high editorial quality and that the 525 pages are abundantly and richly illustrated in colour and black-and-white. In total, the 13th volume of the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Boat and Ship Archaeology is perfectly integrated into the collection, and is an essential reference thatmust find its place in all libraries and a must-have for any specialist or amateur of nautical and maritime archaeology and also anyone interested in maritime history." Patrice Pomey in The International Journal of Nautical Archaeology (2018) 47.2: 477-497
