MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY SEA TRUST

The charity was formed to advance the education of the public in maritime heritage, focusing in particular on maritime archaeological material, including (a) the preservation and investigation of shipwrecked vessels and of historically or otherwise valuable maritime material and (b) the dissemination of the educationally useful results of such investigation to the general public.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
