#PWA50

In early 2023 ‪@HistoricEngland‬ commissioned MSDS Marine and Michael Pitts to produce a film to celebrate fifty years of Protected Wreck sites and the role volunteers have played in their management.

The film draws on Michael’s extensive film archive as well as new footage to really showcase protected wreck sites through stunning imagery and explores the role volunteers have had on working on them through a series of interviews.

The film has been split into shorter sections to help viewers with limited time available. This section focuses on the Salcombe Cannon protected wreck site and the role of the South West Maritime Archaeology Group through an interview with Ron Howell.

You can find out more about the Salcombe Cannon wreck on the National Heritage List for England here: https://historicengland.org.uk/listin...
