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.
