Australia’s coastal waters harbour more than 8,000 ship wrecks. But only a quarter of those have been found. Our guest is a maritime archaeologist and will take us on a dive into her watery world. How is maritime archaeology different from the land-based version? How do you preserve a shipwreck and how do you handle things if you find human remains at the site?
Our hosts, Griff, Inna and Cat are chatting with Danielle Wilkinson, a senior maritime archaeologist from Heritage Victoria.
