Maritime

Heritage Victoria's Maritime archaeologists manage shipwreck sites and associated shipwreck relics in Victoria.

They also manage maritime archaeological sites in Victorian coastal waters. As part of this work they maintain a register of all Victorian shipwreck sites, and a catalogue of shipwreck relics.

They prepare publications, exhibitions and interpretative material on shipwrecks and maritime archaeology in Victoria, and give presentations to a variety of community groups. Publications and lectures are available for schools, universities, museums, other government bodies, special interest groups and the general public.

The archaeologists work with volunteers on coastal and underwater projects, and on projects in the HV conservation lab. Go to the maritime volunteer webpage for more information.
