Traditionally, publications of underwater
wreck sites rely on detailed drawings of the ship’s
timbers or interesting joints, lengthy descriptions of the
remains, and a few representative photos of selected timbers
or portions of the site. The Tantura team wanted something
different and more informative. The Tantura excavation report
was being prepared when VIZIN was contacted to create adjunct
interactive materials for the publication. One of the goals
set by the project team was to allow readers of the publication
to simulate re-diving the Tantura Lagoon wrecks and, at the
same time, to access excavation data by simply clicking on
portions of the ship remains, as if the readers were underwater
with immediate access to all of the documentation (potentially
100s of high-resolution color photographs and drawings, and
descriptions, all the evidence that could not be provided
to the audience by conventional static 2D publication methods).
