The Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War

A Maritime Archaeology Trust Project
supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund

The Heritage Lottery Fund

Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War is a Heritage Lottery Funded (HLF) four year (2014-2018) project devised and delivered by the Maritime Archaeology Trust to coincide with the centenary of the Great War. At the heart of the project is a desire to raise the profile of a currently under-represented aspect of the First World War. While attention is often focused on the Western Front and major naval battles like Jutland, historic remains from the war lie, largely forgotten, in and around our seas, rivers and estuaries. South Coast wreck sites which include merchant and naval ships, passenger, troop and hospital ships, ports, wharfs, buildings and foreshore hulks are often unrecognised and unprotected and have been degrading and deteriorating due to natural and human processes, for approximately 100 years.

Data within the viewer is based on research where we can reliably trust available sources. If you have information or images that could be added to the database please contact us on: FWdatabase@maritimearchaeologytrust.org
