This study mentioned necessity of humanities introspection about sea, and it was viewed in a concept of 'Marine humanities'. Also, after humanities research results related with sea was reviewed, possibility and meaning that the Marine humanities have as an alternative research theory were considered. When we view research related with sea in a theoretical dimension, it was mainly carried out in natural science which is an opposite region of humanities, so characteristics of sea culture having active and relative intention were difficult to be investigated in a view of humanities. However, when we consider that interchange and communication with heterogeneous culture als well as new culture creation were carried out through sea, the humanities introspection about sea will be surely necessary. There were many cases that humanities was set in the center in humanities study related with sea, and sea was used in a material dimension. Research about communication and interchange with the medium of sea in case of literature, and there were discussion about a concept and range setting of sea literature. A study about man executing heroic marine activity was performed in case of the historical science, and it strongly contributed reinterpretation of national and social meaning of the heroic man. On the one hand, since a folklore reserch object is interpreted phenomenal and locally or present shape tends to be retroactive, it was found that there was some distance from intention of sea literature premising diachronic and synchronic communication and interchange. If we accept meaning and limitation of the research related with sea progressed in a humanities domain, it is viewed that the Marine humanities not only reminds us of interest about a study theme related with sea that has not been recognized until now, but also it could function as an alternative method theory of a humanities dimension overcoming and complementing problems that land-oriented modern humanities have.
