The Archaeology Data Service/AHDS Archaeology is pleased to announce the
launch of a resource recording an important maritime collection.
The Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre is located in the small
harbour of Charlestown, near St Austell in Cornwall. It is a privately owned
maritime museum housing many objects recovered from historic shipwrecks. The
objects on display range in date from the 16th century ot the present day.
The resource records all the objects in the Charlestown Shipwreck and
Heritage Centre originating from wrecks currently protected under the
Protection of Wrecks act 1973 (PWA). The record includes a finds database, a
provenance record detailing how the objects ended up in the museum and a
detailed photographic record of the objects.
We hope that this will be an invaluable resource for those working in
maritime archaeology.
