edit data

Sean is an explorer, marine archaeologist and writer who has tracked down wonders across the world’s seas - from 1,500-year-old wine jars off Israel to 700 letters miraculously preserved with a cargo of World War II silver off Ireland.

When Sean’s not running Wreckwatch magazine and TV about sunken treasures or writing for Smithsonian Magazine, he’s part of teams exploring the first-rate warship the Victory in the English Channel – predecessor to Nelson’s Victory – and helping research the Spanish galleon the Maravillas, lost off the Bahamas in 1656 with five million pieces of eight.

With a doctorate from the University of Oxford, Sean has been called the David Attenborough of shipwrecks. Home is on the outskirts of Windsor Great Park.
