We recently posted about how Cathryn R. Newton, dean emerita from Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences, has developed a searchable database that details 2,038 shipwrecks dating from 1526.  Thanks to Dick Kooyman for pointing out Australia’s National Shipwrecks database, a searchable database of Australian shipwrecks.

The database is accessible through the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts web site which also has some very interesting sections on historic shipwrecks which includes pages on famous Australian shipwrecks, shipwreck trails, and South Australia’s graveyard of ships. Definitely worth checking out.
