An international team, including experts from The University of Western Australia, is using 3D imaging to take a unique look at priceless silverware from the Batavia shipwreck.

The Dutch East India vessel crashed into the Abrolhos Islands off the Mid West coast of WA in 1629 spilling treasures, including silver, into reef and the ocean bed. It wasn’t recovered until the 1970s.
