This grant program is funded through the proceeds of the sale or scrapping of obsolete vessels of the National Defense Reserve Fleet. Grants are administered in partnership with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MarAd). This grant program is authorized by the National Maritime Heritage Act, 54 USC 308701-380707.

Preservation projects are defined to include all facets of preservation planning and treatment for historic maritime properties, including archeological sites. All funded preservation projects must meet the relevant Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. The Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation Projects may be of particular interest depending on the project.
