Your Shipwreck Adventure - A companion publication
We have published a children's book also entitled Your Shipwreck Adventure.
The story follows the adventures of Dr Dan, a maritime archaeologist exploring a historic shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef.
Dr Dan discovers the marine life inhabiting the wreck and finds objects that give children an insight into the history of the ship.
The book is authored by Donna Dyson and is suitable for children aged 4-8.
