3.1 Shipwreck visitationHistoric shipwrecks have traditionally been a focus of recreational attention by SCUBAdivers and other coastal users. With approximately 6,500 Historic Shipwrecks located around the Australian coast and along inland waterways, there are many opportunities to visit and explore these reminders of a former age. Many of the sites are associated with sensational stories and sagas, abound in marine life, and are unique in terms of the rewarding learning experience they offer.The Centurion wreck is already a focus of dive charter operations for those companies accessing Historic Shipwrecks in Sydney’s northern suburbs. The frequency of visitation or regular diver numbers is not known, nor are divers’ experiences in visiting the site. An opportunity exists to study the visitation cycles, levels of enjoyment, and potential opportunities for raising visitor enjoyment and understanding of the site. One immediate option is the development of a short two-sided Information Sheet featuring the wreck layout and history. These could be included as underwater diving slates by tour operators, and involve a short pre-dive briefing at the site. Issues regarding the archaeology of the site could be presented, increasing diver interest in preservation of the site.4 METHODOLOGY4.1 Background researchThe NSW Heritage Office has, since 1988, assembled historic reference materials related to the loss of Centurion, as part of the NSW Historic Shipwreck Database. That information is accessible via the internet through the Heritage Office’s Maritime Heritage Online web site http://maritime.heritage.nsw.gov.au. Researcher Debbie Hardy had also obtained a range of important information on the vessel for her independent survey of the site in 1988/9. A copy of this is available in the NSW Heritage Office.4.2 Heritage Office site visitsThe Heritage Office was aware of the identification of the Centurion shipwreck site, popularly visited by SCUBA divers since its discovery in the 1950’s or 1960’s. Heritage Office Maritime Archaeologists had previously visited the historic site on 14 May 1993; 18 June 1993, and 25 May 2001.In 2003, Heritage Office staff revisited the site on 4 March and 21 March, as a prelude to extensive survey operations. A preliminary site sketch was developed and techniques for site survey identified.The main survey work was subsequently undertaken on a number of days over following months, depending on Waterways Authority boat crew availability, together with the dive team and prevailing weather windows. Diving was conducted on:.
