In the Spotlight: Unearthing the Story of Foam and Queensland’s Labour Trade
In the Spotlight: Unearthing the Story of Foam and Queenslands Labour Trade
Discover the compelling story of Foam, a shipwreck that provides a unique archaeological window into Queensland’s indentured labour trade. Foam holds the rare distinction of being the only known wreck of a labour vessel in Australia, offering unparalleled insights into this complex chapter of Australian history.
From the day-to-day life of the crew to the experiences of South Sea Islander, the wreck site reveals remarkable details about cross-cultural contact, trade, and exchange during a pivotal moment in the labour trade. Foam is not just a shipwreck, it’s a tangible link to understanding the human stories of Queensland’s past.
Join Imelda Miller (Curator, First Nations Cultures) and Maddy McAllister (Senior Curator Maritime Archaeology) for this special In the Spotlight talk.
