Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology promotes interest, research and knowledge of maritime archaeology and heritage in Great Britain with core activities concentrated in the counties of Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and the adjacent South Coast areas.
HWTMA run a programme of research led fieldwork involving professional archaeologists, volunteers and students. The results of this work are widely disseminated through our programme of educational initiatives including lectures, seminars and publications. Events and activities are provided throughout the year for the Friends of Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology.
Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology run the Underwater Archaeology Centre at Fort Victoria, near Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. Inside you will discover submerged secrets beneath the waters of the Hampshire and Wight area from shipwrecks to sumerged pre-historic landscapes. Artifacts have been brought to the surface by the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology's maritime archaology team. Here you can see them in first aid conservation, watch divers work under water in our projection room and discover the military history of the Fort.

Identifying a Mystery Shipwreck: a cross-curricular resource for KS3
This is a 40-page, full-colour, spiral-bound, A4-sized booklet. It has been designed so that students, ideally with access to the internet, can work through the booklet independently. In so doing, they will take an active role in solving the mystery of the wreck's identity, while gaining an appreciation of the marine environment, its importance today and in the past, and insights into a range of marine careers. Throughout the booklet there are excercises and tasks to provide opportunities for the development and practical application of skills and knowledge learnt in maths, science, English, ICT, geography and history.
