This book explores the historical and archaeological evidence of
the relationships between a coastal community and the shipwrecks
that have occurred along the southern Australian shoreline over the
last 160 years. It moves beyond a focus on shipwrecks as events and
shows the short and long term economic, social and symbolic
significance of wrecks and strandings to the people on the
shoreline. This volume draws on extensive oral histories,
documentary and archaeological research to examine the tensions
within the community, negotiating its way between its roles as
shipwreck saviours and salvors.
