Story Beneath the Solent
The Story Beneath the Solent
Story Beneath the Solent deals with the rich heritage and maritime archaeology, both on the foreshore and underwater, in the Solent region. The heritage concealed within our seabed is far greater than previously supposed.
The discoveries of fishermen and divers show the richness of maritime archaeology in the Solent, its harbours and adjacent waters. Their reports tell us of the bones of a buried mammoth here, the flint tools of a prehistoric hunter there. Elsewhere they find wine jars from a Roman cargo and nearby the timbers from an ancient wreck. Our creek and estuary shores provide the location for the remains of prehistoric settlements, along with those of ships, boats and other craft from many periods in our maritime history.
The HWTMA seeks to identify, preserve and make people aware of this fragile and mostly unseen heritage. The research of HWTMA is brought to life in this full colour, easy to read publication.
