Welcome to ASHonline

In 1984, Australian Sea Heritage magazine was launched by Sydney Maritime Museum. For more than thirty years ASH, as the magazine was known colloquially, published articles about Australia’s maritime heritage. Its editorial coverage was broad and the magazine always had a modest in number, but devoted, core of readers.

Sadly, the costs of publishing magazines with small circulations rose steadily during ASH’s life and in 2015 the moment came when continuing to print the magazine was considered no longer viable and publication of the print magazine ceased.

And so this electronic ‘blog’ was created with the aim of continuing to make available online periodic maritime heritage articles of interest.

All views expressed in the editorial content of ASHonline are those of the authors of the articles.
