Dr Maddy McAllister, Senior Curator, Queensland Museum and Senior Lecturer, James Cook University
Join Dr. McAllister (aka The Shipwreck Mermaid) as she takes us beneath the waves to investigate Australia’s shipwrecks. Maddy has worked for a decade in Australia as a maritime archaeologist studying shipwrecks and revealing clues that piece together our knowledge about the past. She’ll touch on internationally renowned shipwrecks such as HMS Pandora, Batavia and Australia’s Titanic – SS Yongala – as well as others currently being researched. From the Great Barrier Reef to the windswept Western Australian coastline – Australia’s shipwreck legacy is riveting.
