Erasing History
Illegal industrial-scale salvage of World War II shipwrecks across the Asia–Pacific has escalated over the past decade, resulting in the destruction of historically significant naval vessels, war graves, and maritime heritage sites. Once protected by remoteness, depth, or sovereign immunity, wrecks such as HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Repulse, HNLMS De Ruyter, HNLMS Java, HMAS Perth (I), and USS Houston have been systematically stripped or entirely r…
Reuniting orphaned cargoes
Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its core, was the epicentre of the most extraordinary expansion of global trade ever witnessed along the Maritime Silk Route. But this story is incomplete because many objects of trade, and the shipwrecks from which they originated, were salvaged and dispersed without adequate archaeological recording of the details of their find-spots. This article critically assesses the prevailing legislative and ethical lands…
Managing Shared Maritime Heritage
This article examines the effective management and governance of World War II shipwrecks with a particular focus on two Australian wartime wrecks in Timor-Leste, HMAS Voyager and HMAS Armidale . With reference to international frameworks such as the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage, as well as Timor-Leste’s evolving domestic regulations, this article explores the challenges in managing these shipwrecks …
The multispecies shipwreck
In an era of species extinction, ecological destruction and uncertain futures, the separation of nature and culture within conceptualisations of heritage has become increasingly untenable. Although the limitations – and even damage – caused by the separation of these ontological categories is widely accepted within heritage studies, scholarly interventions calling for more connected ontologies are commonly framed within the context of the terrest…
Saving two fish with one wreck
The oceans harbor critical areas of marine biodiversity and underwater cultural heritage, both of which require active protection and preservation for the future. Here, we consider how the presence of underwater cultural heritage can be used to bolster the conservation of marine biodiversity, and vice versa. We perform spatial analyses showcasing where sea-space of high cultural and natural value overlaps. Subsequently, we identify three potentia…
Too Little, Too Late? Redefining the Legacy of HMAS Perth (I), an Australian Warship Sunk in Indonesian Waters
Australian warship HMAS Perth (I) was sunk during the Battle of the Sunda Strait in 1942, claiming the lives of 353 men. It was not until 2017 that Indonesian and Australian authorities conducted a joint archaeological survey of the site. They found that Perth had been salvaged on an industrial scale, with less than 40% of the vessel remaining. The discovery devastated those with an emotional connection to Perth , and, following strong Australian…
Resisting Internationalism
This article reviews historical legislation relating to the management of shipwrecks in Indonesia, examining issues relating to terminology, division of authority, and implementation. It focuses on the evolution of Indonesia's commercial salvage legislation, from its introduction in 1989 to its abrupt cessation in 2010, when a moratorium was introduced. While the moratorium was interpreted as a sign that Indonesia was moving closer to internation…

An additional dimension to health inequalities
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the severity of hip pain and disability, and a number of measures of socioeconomic position, using a range of individual and ecological socioeconomic indicators. DESIGN: Interviewer administered and self completed questionnaires on symptoms of pain and disability, general health and socioeconomic indicators, completed by people reporting hip pain in a cross sectional, postal, screening questionnai…
