Maritime Archaeology Trust

A UK charity based in Southampton (formerly the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology, founded 1991) that surveys, records, and publishes wrecks and submerged prehistoric sites in the central south of England and beyond. Its projects cover the Bouldnor Cliff submerged Mesolithic site in the Solent (about 8,000 years old, with the oldest worked wood in the UK and ancient DNA evidence) and First World War wrecks of the English Channel. It runs the Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War project and supports volunteer and education work.
