Divulging Protected Wrecks in the Solent.
Author(s): Garry Momber; Julie Satchell
Year: 2013
Summary
The Solent area has been witness to many hundreds of shipwrecks. The most significant of these are protected. Each wreck presents different challenges when managing and preserving the remains. Over the last two decades the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology has been working with licensees to record the wrecks and bring information to the public. The results have included the creation of displays, videos, publications and a web geoportal. Two wrecks that have been a particular focus of attention are the HMS Pomone and Warship Hazardous. The work on these wrecks, in collaboration English Heritage, plus international partners from Belgium (Flemish Heritage) and France (Adramar) will be presented. A need to engage between national curators, local organisations, local enthusiasts and the wider community has been identified. The presentation will show how this has been realised and advocate how this positive collaboration should be continued.
