All at Sea has teamed up with the Nautical Archaeology Society to give away an interactive online Discover Maritime Archaeology Course worth £50.
Ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of our seas, lakes and rivers? Maritime archaeology offers a captivating glimpse into our aquatic past — and it is about so much more than shipwrecks and buried treasure.
You do not need to be a scuba diver or a seasoned historian to get involved. Maritime archaeology is the study of how humans have interacted with water over the centuries — from ancient harbours and sunken villages to forgotten fishing communities and historic vessels. It is about uncovering stories of trade, travel, survival and loss that have shaped coastal cultures around the world.
Now is your chance to dive into this fascinating world — no wetsuit required.
The Nautical Archaeology Society is giving you the opportunity to win access to its Discover Maritime Archaeology course — an interactive online introduction that will ignite your curiosity and teach you the fundamentals of this unique field. Each module covers a different aspect of maritime archaeology, from analysing and dating artefacts and understanding the many different types of sites to documenting and reporting a find.
Whether you are a history buff, a beachcomber or simply curious about the secrets beneath the waves, this is the perfect way to begin your journey. No prior experience is necessary — just a sense of curiosity and a love for discovery.
Enter now and take your first step into the world of maritime archaeology.
