Australian National Shipwreck Database

The Australian National Shipwreck Database is an official record that documents shipwrecks around Australia’s coast. It contains information about the locations, historical details, and conditions of these wrecks, which can include anything from old trading ships to modern vessels. This resource is valuable for researchers, historians, archaeologists, and the public, as it helps in preserving Australia’s maritime heritage and in understanding the country's naval history. The database also provides insights into the environmental impacts of shipwrecks and aids in maritime safety and conservation efforts.
