Every Day Nov 21 - Nov 28

2 Sailing ships 10,000 nautical miles from home. Sealed beneath a car park.

The test excavation of the hulls of two sailing ships from under a Bunbury Western Australia car park is an event we are keen to share!

Two whaling ships, the Samuel Wright (out of Salem) and the North America (out of Rhode Island) lie 10,000 nautical miles from home.

Revealing them unlocks a 19th century tale of roguish adventure in pursuit of mighty whales and massive riches, curtailed by the wrath of the Indian Ocean.

 Every day from the 21st until the 28th of November we will deliver to multiple platforms new web documentaries of the story of the ships, of the rough, cruel trade of whaling and of the present-day excavations. After the 28th the whole collection of web documentaries will be downloadable for a further 11months. 

It is the catalyst for an adventurous 360° interactive museum which will transform the way we engage with our history, exploring our past to understand our future.
