Australasian maritime archaeology, history & heritage
Going in Deep
The Silentworld Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation with a focus on supporting and promoting Australasian maritime archaeology, history, culture and heritage.
What we do
Uncovering and telling the stories of Australia’s maritime past.
Our interest and work is centered mainly on, but is not restricted to, Australian indigenous contact with non-European groups prior to European settlement, initial European contact and the early colonial era.
