Eastern Solent
The safest and busiest route into the Solent lies with the passage to the east of the Isle of Wight. Today this route remains a busy stretch of water. With density of shipping comes a high number of ship losses, and the record of wrecks attests this.
The HWTMA has been investigating the shipwrecks and ship related remains of the East Solent, deploying a wide variety of techniques and methods.
