Shipwreck Databases Western Australian Museum

The Maritime Archaeology Databases have been developed as a public facility where visitors can search our collection databases for shipwreck information, shipwreck artefacts, numismatic (coin) materials, as well as the ANCODS (Agreement between Australia and the Netherlands Concerning Old Dutch Shipwrecks) collection, which on 21 March 2011 was consolidated into the one collection at the WA Museum.
