The wreck of the submarine HMAS AE2 was located in 1998 by Turkish diver and [then] Director of the Rahmi Koc Industrial Museum (Istanbul), Mr Selcuk Kolay OAM. An initial Australian archaeological team headed by Dr Mark Spencer
with Maritime Archaeologist Mr Tim Smith, positively identified the wreck to be AE2 in September 1998, when a preliminary recording and assessment of the wreck site was made. This report provides information on the state of the Gallipoli war relic and the preferred management options.
