Shipwreck and Relic Images

Created 04/05/2025

Updated 04/05/2025

This dataset includes over 2000 images of shipwrecks and shipwreck relics which provides a unique insight into the State's maritime history. In addition to the images the dataset includes an extract from the South Australian Register of Historic Shipwrecks. The database includes all known shipwrecks located in South Australian and Australian waters adjacent to South Australia. It includes information pertaining to Historic Shipwreck and Historic Relics as described under the (Commonwealth) Historic Shipwrecks Act 1976 and the (South Australian) Historic Shipwrecks Act 1981. The dataset includes shipwrecks that have not yet been declared under either of these Acts. Filtering may take place to restrict the location of sensitive shipwrecks where condition assessments are pending. The Maritime Register (XML) contains the image URL which can be matched to the image name. The register also includes the shipwreck name, historical background, description of the relic, location of the shipwreck and other details. See also: https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/shipwrecks
