What will Shipwrecks UK cost to access?
We continue to explore options for the system to be made available on the web free of charge (while becoming ready for other alternatives if necessary). In this way there would be no obstacle to its widespread use. We are aware of demand from educators, archaeologists, government departments, historians, genealogists, divers and many other groups of users. We also wish to encourage addition, amplification and correction of content (eg as more becomes known about a wreck and its position). A subscriber system would inevitably inhibit the take-up and thwart a wider appreciation of the maritime heritage of the British Isles. If you are interested in sponsoring Shipwrecks UK, to support free access to the full on-line resource, then please contact us. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A RESEARCH SERVICE, AIDED BY THE SYSTEM AND OUR OTHER EXTENSIVE REFERENCES, ON A FEE-FOR-SERVICE BASIS.
