Dr Jon Henderson of the Department of Classics and Archaeology is receiving extensive press coverage for his website.
The website gives visitors the chance to explore the wreckage of the SS Thistlegorm, a British merchant steam ship sunk by a German bomber in 1941 during the Second World War, off the coast of Egypt. Visitors can explore one of the world’s most famous diving sites on their phones or home computers thanks to a 3D virtual reality project.
Coverage:
The Thistlegorm Project is part of a wider maritime archaeology study called Presence in the Past, a Newton Fund project directed by Dr Henderson. The project is a partnership between the 糖心原创 and Ain Shams (Cairo) and Alexandria Universities in Egypt.
