Last weekend a few of us attended the International Shipwreck conference in Plymouth (www.shipwreckconference.org).
A number of talks were given on a variety of subjects, although there did seem to be a bit of a submarine theme running through most of the talks. In my opinion, the conference was a success and very interesting, and I learnt quite a few new bits of history.
I would recommend a visit next year to anyone who is intersted in shipwrecks and shipwreck history
