Event Type: Special Interest Age Group(s): Adults Date: 12/11/2019 Start Time: 2:00 PM End Time: 3:30 PM Description: The Maritime Archaeological Association of Western Australia has mapped the river beds of the Perth area for the past 40 years, identifying shipwrecks.
Venue: A.H. Bracks Library Where are we? Early dependence on the river led to the development of boat sheds and jetties with a huge traffic in barges and steam ferries for transport and recreation. Listen to Ian tell us what archaeological studies of the river reveal about these and other sites in the Swan. The association has also developed a free phone app ‘shipwreckswa’ to make their research available to the public. Location: Meeting Room 2 Other Information: Free event but bookings essential. Please complete a separate registration form for each member of your group.
