SUBMERGED

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Submerged: stories of Australia’s shipwrecks project. The Submerged Digital Archive is hosted by the AMMC website.

An exceptional number of AMMC Members (n=51) read and voted on the stories.

There were so many excellent stories, we had to add an additional banner! We would now like to announce the final 14 stories for Submerged:

There are still a number of ways to participate in Submerged, so please register your interest as a host venue via our Bookings tab.
