This episode opens up the fascinating world of maritime historical discovery. Dr Sam Willis meets Max Wilson from the Lloyds Register Foundation archives to explore some of the different types of document that you might come across conducting maritime research: from boiler plans, ship plans, stowage plans and rigging plans - to survey reports, casualty returns, correspondence, photographs and intriguing miscellaneous items - this episode unravels extraordinary maritime stories that come to you straight from the past... including HMS Investigator and HMS Hecla and the exploration of the arctic; the shipwreck of ss Politician and her cargo of malt whiskey; and ss Dunedin, the first ship to successfully transport a full cargo of refrigerated meat from New Zealand to England.
