Hello! My name is Dani. I’m a student at the University of Southampton and I’m a facilitator on the course. My favourite shipwreck is the SS City of Medicine Hat. It was found in a city called Saskatoon, which is in central Canada – that makes it about three days’ drive from the nearest ocean. It was a paddle steamer used to ferry passengers up and down the river. It sank in 1909 when it hit some underwater telegraph cables. It was found a few years ago, and they found about a thousand artefacts with it. It’s my favourite shipwreck because three days from the ocean and we still find maritime archaeology and that’s pretty exciting!
