This event has been cancelled.

It is with great sadness, that following the announcement of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, out of respect we are cancelling this event.

Join Hefin Meara, Maritime Archaeologist from Historic England to hear about their work in the last two years. Interesting stories, case studies & a short film with time for questions.

It’s an exciting time for maritime archaeological research. Historic England has recently funded geophysical survey and diver investigation on the wrecks of the Northumberland and Restoration, lost on the Goodwin Sands during the Great Storm of 1703, which are rapidly emerging out of the sand waves. Meanwhile fascinating new discoveries are being made during the analysis and conservation of artefacts recovered from the Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship Rooswijk, lost in 1740. Newly discovered shipwreck sites off the coast of Dorset and the Isle of Wight have been given protection, and public access is being enhanced through new technology and virtual dive trails.

The talk will provide an update on the cutting edge research taking place in the dynamic and ever changing environment of the sea around England.
