Submerge
An installation celebrating the maritime history of Dorset. Podiums correlate with the location of shipwrecks between Swanage and the Isle of Wight, with information on display about their sinking.
Viewers will be able to learn about each wreck by reading primary accounts from the time. The floor will be finished with luminous paint, representing bathymetric data gathered from that region.
The podiums with the most information will be interactive, containing footage about the ship and how it sank.
Each podium will contain a model of the seabed from that area, highlighting the wreck’s location with a blinking light.
