Unlike land based heritage sites, the majority of these underwater locations are virtually invisible to the public gaze. Their inaccessibility limits public perception of their importance; out of sight, out of mind. In rare cases, e.g. the Mary Rose, the wrecks are recovered and placed in purpose built museums alongside artefacts recovered from them. The enormous cost of archaeological recovery, preservation and exposition restricts this practice.
