There are many great books written from the WA Maritime Museum, the UWA Press and many other great authours and publishers detailing the shipwrecks and exploration of Western Australia. Such books have helped us over the years gain a knowledge of the wrecks of our coast and kept our interest in historical shipwrecks going. Without these sources of information and the amount of research compiled by the authors, it would make diving and locating these wreck sites along the coast near impossible.

 

 

Compiled below are the many great reference books as well as general information and historical literature that cover the 1400 known wreck events and strandings on the West Australian coast. These are the books we referenced for the content of this website and our Facebook page, as well as various online sources. Through the site we wish to promote the work that has been published by the primary researchers that make the information and history accessible to the public. These are the books we think would be of great interest to anyone wanting to dive wrecks of Western Australia, or just learn the amazing history of our rugged and amazing coast.
