Maritime Archaeology

Most of the material recovered from a decade of maritime archaeological expeditions by the Silentworld Foundation is held by the Australian National Maritime Museum for the benefit of the nation, but Silentworld nonetheless holds a substantial collection of shipwreck items. This includes items found on its own expeditions as well as material from the Endeavour, the Batavia, the Bounty and other famous names.
