The goal of the Fascinated by Shipwrecks podcast is to help educate the general public about the people and the science of maritime archaeology. We’re here to uncover shipwreck stories but also go behind the scenes to reveal how the people who work in this fascinating field do their jobs. The tale of each shipwreck is made more profound by the experiences of those who have researched, discovered, and documented these precious relics of our seafaring past.
Join us as we embark on a journey of discovery together!
