Abstract (in English)

Paper presented during the ICLAFI – ICUCH Symposium, 29th June – 1st July 2017, Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands Amersfoort, The Netherlands Shipwrecks from the First World War located within the Finnish territorial sea are ”becoming of age”. According to national heritage legislation, the wrecks that can be considered to have sunk over one hundred years ago, or parts thereof, are protected as ancient sites. There is also an increasing interest among divers to find and visit the WWI underwater cultural heritage. Therefore the defense and museum authorities need to cooperate closely in the management of such heritage. Beyond the territorial waters, however, the Finnish museum authorities have no official role since Finland has not yet ratified the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Heritage.
