Colossus Dive Trail Maintenance and Wheel Wreck Dating 2019

Abstract

This project undertook maintenance of the Colossus dive trail and the collection of further dating evidence from the Wheel Wreck to aid the identification of this wreck. Both sites are protected historic wrecks and are only about six kilometres apart. The rationale behind combining these two projects was that considerable financial savings can be made by combining the fieldwork into a single event. This collection contains drawings, photographs and 3D models.. There is also a project report.The artefacts recovered during the project will be deposited at the Isles of Scilly museum. The early diving weights recovered from Colossus are currently on loan to the Historic Diving museum at Portsmouth
