Congratulations to Bristol based Mallinson Sadler who have beaten top BBC series’ Coast and Trawlermen to take the Crystal Dolphin Trophy for their series Deep Wreck Mysteries at this year’s British Maritime Charitable Foundation – Desmond Wettern Media Awards.

The Awards are made in memory of the late Desmond Wettern who was a writer on maritime affairs for some thirty years. The ITN news presenter Nicholas Owen introduced the awards on 8th November and as one of the judges he stated that Deep Wreck Mysteries brought to light new and important historical findings, distinguised by high quality direction, production and narration and by a strong commitment to stimulating the widest possible audience interest in the UK’s maritime heritage.

Receiving the trophy Crispin Sadler said “We are blessed by having so much of our maritime heritage preserved under the sea. Until now much of it has been too difficult to find, too deep to dive and too dangerous to film. Thanks to advances in technology we can bring this hidden world of shipwrecks and their histories to a wide and appreciative audience”.
