By Nikolai von Uexkull and Alex Ford, ocean explorers

In the warm tropical seas of South East Asia, there is a world of adventure, ancient shipwrecks, trade routes, and precious cultural finds. Nicolai von Uexkull and Alex Ford are committed to the preservation of cultural heritage, sensitivity to marine ecosystems, and fostering safe working practices.  They have discovered a number of shipwrecks, between 250 to 1000 years old, several of great historical and cultural significance. 
This talk will give fascinating insights into ancient trade routes in Asia, and will be illustrated with field images, artefacts and stories.
